April 19 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
ANN TALMAN brings her award-winning show Elizabeth Taylor and the Shadow of Her Smile to the Wells Theatre in Norfolk, Virginia! Talman shares hilarious and touching stories about her special bond with Miss Taylor, woven with Broadway and Great American Songbook gems, on Friday, April 18 at 7:30 PM; Saturday, April 19 at 7:30 PM; and Sunday, April 20 at 2:00 PM. The show features musical director ALEX RYBECK on piano and is directed by LINA KOUTRAKOS.
In 1981, Ann Talman landed the plum role in The Little Foxes playing Elizabeth 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. Ann’s imitation of Elizabeth is so spot on, if you close your eyes, you’ll swear they’re together again! “Elizabeth loved cabaret,” says Ms. Talman. “If she were alive, she’d be here right now holding court!”
“I had the great pleasure of seeing Annie’s beautiful, poignant, and funny show. She nailed the gleaming and mercurial light that was… my stepmother! I laughed and cried in equal measures.” ~ Kate Burton
“I had a wonderful time watching this catchy, revealing and tuneful tribute to a time well spent with one of the screen’s most revered icons. I could see ‘Elizabeth Taylor and the Shadow of Her Smile’ again and again. It’s a unique and delightful experience!” – Rex Reed
