Worldwide, she has performed in China, Australia (with Stephen Schwartz), New Zealand, Iceland, Estonia, France (Theatre du Chatelet, Paris), Slovenia, South Korea, and Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu where she premiered a new concert featuring the music of Stephen Sondheim.

Ms. Callaway sang the Academy Award nominated song “Journey to the Past” as the singing voice of the title character in the animated feature “Anastasia” and is also the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Disney’s “Aladdin,” “the King of Thieves” and “The Return of Jafar.” Other film work includes “The Swan Princess,” “Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars.”
