"Weekend with Ann Hampton Callaway" at THE PENTHOUSE

Polly Bergen, Betty Buckley, Liz Callaway, Barbara Carroll and songwriters Rupert Holmes and John Bucchino will join Ann Hampton Callaway during her "Weekend with Ann Hampton Callaway" concerts May 8th, 9th and 10th at Lincoln Center's award-winning AMERICAN SONGBOOK series, at the STANLEY H. KAPLAN PENTHOUSE (165 West 65 Street, NYC - 212-721-6500).

The weekend begins May 8th with a "Master Class" conducted by Ms. Callaway, during which she will coach with fledgling (and not-so-fledgling) singers in the art of performance, and on May 9th, "Request Night," will find the cabaret star performing songs voted on in advance by the SONGBOOK audience. (see song list below). The trio of concerts will conclude May 10th with Ms. Bergen, Ms. Buckley, et. al. featured as guest stars in "The Callaway Hour," an hour of chat and song reminiscent of TV variety shows of days gone by.

Here are some details:

May 8th at 8:00 pm - Ann will conduct a "Master Class" with 8 singers - both young and not-so-young - each of whom will perform a song, which Ann will critique, and then they'll perform that song again. This is a most unusual event - a "Master Class" conducted by one of pop music's most beloved singer/songwriters, in front of an audience. Among the young singers will be Staten Island Wagner College music majors Gregory J. Bechtel and Meryl Bezutczyk. Tickets $25.

May 9th at 8:00 & 10:00 pm - "Request Night" - Throughout the month of April, ticket holders to this concert have been voting for the songs they would most like to hear Ann perform. This list, so far, includes "Isn't it Romantic?" "I'll be Seeing You," "But Not for Me," "Mr. Paganini," and "Lush Life." A sort of "people's choice night" (8:00 pm: $45) (10:00 pm: $30)

May 10th at 8:00 & 10:00 pm - "The Callaway Hour" - A variety-style program with chat and song starring Polly Bergen, Barbara Carroll and songwriter Rupert Holmes join Ann for the 8:00 pm show ($45); and Betty Buckley, Ann's sister Liz Callaway and songwriter John Bucchino join her for the 10 pm show ($30).
