Post Gazette: Liz Callaway will return to sing the work of Andrew Lloyd Webber for Pittsburgh CLO, this time as the lead in the musical "Sunset Boulevard" in July. Ms. Callaway was here last summer for "Love Changes Everything," a revue of Sir Andrew's considerable catalog, including a few songs from "Sunset Boulevard." The stage musical, which starred Patti LuPone in London and Glenn Close on Broadway, is based on the Billy Wilder film about the ill-fated partnership between faded movie star Norma Desmond and struggling writer Joe Gillis.

Theater Notes: CLO lands Callaway; City actor makes mean cocktail

I am really excited to see Liz Callaway. Although I'm not generally a fan of "revue" type musicals, this will be a fun group of songs. I do hope that CLO continues to use local talent when they can. As a Pittsburgh native I have seen much talent in the area. It is great that CLo has found some talent from outside our area, but I also think they should look locally first. We have some great people right here in town.
After watching Rachel Maddow mix drinks on her show I have come to respect the art that is making a drink more complicated than a Jack and Coke. Thus I think its cool that Macfarlane can sing, play cello, and pour a perfectly balanced four layer drink. Incorporating multiple disciplines of entertainment seems like a good crowd draw.
