Taylor has known Michael Colby for several years and "really delights in his storytelling." She says, "From the simple to the sublime, it's been fun discovering how Michael's lyrics really resonate with so many significant events in my life. I also love the versatility created by his collaboration with so many wonderful, diverse composers."

Michael Colby is known as the creator of such unique musicals as Charlotte Sweet (with Gerald Jay Markoe), Tales of Tinseltown (with Paul Katz), Mrs. McThing (with Jacques Urbont based on a book by Mary Chase), the Broadway bound Dangerous (with John Introcaso), and Slay it With Music (with Paul Katz) among other shows, and as the author of the memoir "The Algonquin Kid: Adventures Growing Up in New York's Legendary Hotel."

She has performed classical roles in Chicago, Philadelphia, West Palm Beach, Montreal, and New York. In the UK, musical theater opportunities took her to the London Palladium, Drill Hall, Bridewell Theatre, Hever Castle, Theatre Royal Brighton, the Brighton Pavilion Dome and Pizza On the Park. In Switzerland, she played the role of Madame Giry in Phantom of the Opera (in both English and German). Taylor is featured on the platinum-selling CD, Incantation, with Tim Wheater. Stateside, Maureen has appeared in regional theatre, soaps, commercials and print work. "And cabaret," says Taylor, "lot sand lots of cabaret!"
