Photos: Ann Talman Encores ELIZABETH TAYLOR AND THE SHADOW OF HER SMILE at The Laurie Beechman Theatre

Budding cabaret artist and brilliant storyteller Ann Talman brought her debut solo show to The Laurie Beechman on February 26th for an encore performance, after wowing audiences around town in 2022. Her show Elizabeth Taylor AND THE SHADOW OF HER SMILE has added some words to the title and had some fine tuning between herself and her team (Lina Koutrakos, director, and Alex Rybeck, musical director) and the freshened-up Elizabeth Taylor tribute landed at the Laurie just in time for Dame Elizabeth's birthday.

This isn't just a tribute to a movie star, though, because Dame Elizabeth was a close personal friend and one-time colleague of Talman, who acted alongside the legend in THE LITTLE FOXES on Broadway. One of the loveliest and most enjoyable shows this writer has seen (read the review HERE), this musical cabaret is perfectly poised to tour anywhere Team Talman is able to make the booking.

For this birthday bash in honor of Dame Elizabeth, Broadway World Cabaret's Conor Weiss showed up, camera in hand, to capture the festivities.
