Ann Talman: Elizabeth Taylor and the Shadow of Her Smile

An evening of story and song about Ann Tallman and Elizabeth Taylor’s amazing bond, benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids and honoring Elizabeth Taylor’s devotion to AIDS Awareness on WORLD AIDS DAY. This Bistro and MAC Award-winning show is filled with hilarious and touching stories that only Ann can tell, woven with Broadway and Great American Songbook gems. Ann’s imitation of Elizabeth is so spot on, if you close your eyes, you’ll swear they’re together again! Ann Talman, actor, singer, storyteller, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and four-time Broadway veteran, joined Actors’ Equity with co-star Elizabeth Taylor in 1981 when she landed the plum role in The Little Foxes playing Taylor’s daughter on Broadway. The show traveled the world for eighteen months and their loving friendship lasted for the rest of Miss Taylor’s life. The show is directed by Lina Koutrakos with musical direction by Alex Rybeck.
