The Wizard and I: Liz Callaway Sings Stephen Schwartz
Long an interpreter of the songs of Stephen Schwartz, Emmy winner and Tony and Grammy nominee Liz Callaway turns her full attention to the songwriter celebrating the release of her brand-new album, The Wizard and I: Liz Callaway Sings Stephen Schwartz. Featuring songs from an extraordinary career that has spanned nearly 60-years (and in every form of media), as well as a brand new song, Liz honors Stephen in her signature way, pairing his iconic songs with tales of their lifelong professional relationship and friendship. Featuring Academy Award and Grammy-winning tunes from Wicked, Godspell, Pippin, The Baker’s Wife, and more, The Wizard and I is a personal celebration of the man who made a witch take flight and gave a bird sight.
Tony, Grammy nominee, and Emmy Award winner Liz Callaway made her Broadway debut in Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along. She went on to star in Baby, Miss Saigon, The Look of Love, The Three Musketeers, and for five years appeared as Grizabella in Cats.
Off-Broadway appearances include The Spitfire Grill (Drama Desk nomination), Marry Me a Little, Godspell and Brownstone.
Liz sang the Academy Award-nominated song “Journey to the Past” in the animated feature Anastasia. Other film/TV work includes The Swan Princess, Jasmine in the two Aladdin sequels, The Rewrite with Hugh Grant and Hazbin Hotel Season 2.
Liz has released eight solo albums. Her latest album, To Steve With Love: Liz Callaway Celebrates Sondheim, was nominated for a 2023 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
