Photos: ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY SINGS THE SEVENTIES Opens At 54 Below

One of the most profound and productive artists in the cabaret and concert industry, Ann Hampton Callaway never fails to provide a program of excellence.  Each and every Ann Hampton Callaway show plays to capacity houses and sends audiences home with a smile on their faces and something to share over the water cooler the next day or on the social media in the cab leaving the club.  Last night the Tony Award nominee opened a new show at 54 Below titled Ann Hampton Callaway SINGS THE SEVENTIES, an evening of music by everyone's favorites from one of the best decades in music.  Carole King.  Roberta Flack.  James Taylor and John Lennon.  Misses Streisand, Ronstadt, and Carpenter.  All the great musical artists from the Nineteen Seventies are being refreshed and reinvented in the AHC style, with Ann's close friend and collaborator, Billy Stritch, standing by (or sitting by) as Musical Director for the evening.  Joined by Tim Horner on Drums and Martin Wind on bass, the four-night run promises to be one of the highlights in the cabaret season.

Broadway World Cabaret photographer Conor Weiss was on hand to capture the glamor and emotion of opening night.  Conor's photos can be enjoyed below and tickets to one of the three remaining 7 pm performances can be secured HERE.  There is a livestream of the August 12th closing show, tickets for which can be accessed HERE.
