Liz Callaway has one of the most beautiful singing voices we’ve ever heard, and this week we got to chat with this Tony Award nominated singer and actress about just how singularly qualified she is to be a guest on this podcast! We also touched upon the connection Liz forged with Hal Prince and Stephen Sondheim during the tumultuous run of “Merrily We Roll Along," the fun you can have with your kid backstage while dressed as a cat, her imminent return to live performances, and the immensity of, intensity of...two people in love.
