Bruce Kimmel had this to say about  Liz Callaway:

Liz – dreamy. Again, very open, there to do her best and wants to be very involved in everything. She’s an amazing talent

&

I couldn’t bear to hear Joey, Joey, Joey in any other form than Alex Rybeck’s great Bacharach-flavored arrangement and orchestration... I never mind going out on an artistic limb if people go all the way and have the courage of their convictions. That’s how Alex Rybeck, Liz and I arrived at the Bacharachish version of Joey, Joey, Joey, one of my favorite tracks of all time.

REVIEWS

The dazzling Ms. Callaway habitually stops Broadway shows, including Baby and Miss Saigon. Her CD of Loesser songs is guaranteed to delight. This lady shimmers, her soaring voice and sensitive way with a lyric making the most of every number. It is hard to pick favorites, but "Anywhere I Wander," "My Heart is So Full of You" and a delicious "Brotherhood of Man" duet with sister Ann Hampton Callaway had me cheering. A great addition to most any Showtune lover's collection! Reviewed by John Kenrick  www.musicals101.com

After appearing in the revue More of Loesser Broadway veteran Liz Callaway devoted her first solo album to the composer. Among the selections from Guys and Dolls, How To Succeed in Business, and The Most Happy Fella, as well as other miscellany, are highlights such as a coy, then swinging "On a Slow Boat to China," a roof-raising "Brotherhood of Man" (guest-starring sister Ann Hampton Callaway), and a gorgeous version of "My Heart Is So Full of You" that showcases this golden-voiced soprano at her heart-breaking best.

"...Liz excels in an impassioned My Heart Is So Full Of You from The Most Happy Fella. This last number also features on Liz’s gorgeous solo recording, Anywhere I Wander, a collection of Frank Loesser songs which runs the gamut from the drama of Never Will I Marry to the charming simplicity of the title track" Reviewed by Mark Jennett   www.culturevulture.net
