Liza's At The Palace...!

LIZA MINNELLI In Concert

Liza Minnelli brings her unmatchable magic to Broadway, when she stars in her new show Lizas At The Palace! opening Wednesday, December 3rd (6:30PM) at the Palace Theatre (Broadway & 47th Street) for a limited engagement through December 28th. Produced by John Scher/Metropolitan Talent Presents & Jubilee Time Productions and directed and choreographed by Ron Lewis, the evening will feature an incomparable Minnelli songfest including many of her personal favorites and signature hits, followed by a dance-filled tribute to the groundbreaking late-1940s nightclub act of Minnelli's godmother, Kay Thompson. Gary Labriola will serve as Executive Producer.

Along with a twelve-man orchestra led by conductor/drummer Michael Berkowitz and pianist/musical supervisor Billy Stritch, Lizas At The Palace! will be highlighted with many of Lizas showstoppers such as Cabaret, Maybe This Time, and New York New York all written especially for her by the legendary Broadway song writing partnership of John Kander and Fred Ebb. For the first time onstage, Liza will pay an affectionate salute to her godmother, the late Kay Thompson who was a legendary performer (Think Pink! from Funny Face), author (Eloise at the Plaza) as well a gifted vocal arranger and Music Director/vocal coach at MGM Studios who worked with stars such as Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra and Lena Horne. Supported by a quartet of dynamic singer/dancers, Liza will perform musical hits (with the original vocal arrangements) from Thompson's act including such numbers as I Love a Violin, Clap Yo' Hands, Jubilee Time and Hello Hello---set to brand-new staging and choreography by Mr. Lewis. Accompanying her onstage will be Cortés Alexander, Jim Caruso, Tiger Martina and Johnny Rodgers.

The concert performance will be scripted by Liza and Tony Award-winner David Zippel, and will be full of personal stories, anecdotes and heartfelt reminiscences embraced in a theatrical setting featuring scenery by Ray Klausen, costumes by Halston, lighting by Matthew Berman and sound by Matt Kraus.

Liza Minnelli was born in Los Angeles and made her screen debut as a toddler in the musical In the Good Old Summertime in 1949. One of the worlds best-loved entertainers, she won Tony awards for Flora, the Red Menace in 1965 and The Act in 1978, along with a third for Best Personal Achievement, resulting from her 1974 engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre. Nominated for an Academy Award® for The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), she won the best actress prize for her best-known film, Cabaret (1972), which also won her a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA. She won an Emmy for Liza with a 'Z' (1972) and was also the recipient of a Grammy Legend Award in 1989, making her one of the few artists who have won entertainment's top six awards. Liza has also been the recipient of three David di Donatello Awards for The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), Cabaret (1972) and Lifetime Achievement (2002).

I saw "Liza's at the Palace" on 12/23/08 -

2nd row center orchestra. I didn't know what to expect. Liza could not have been more perfect. She was even more amazing than all the rave reviews. Not one note was off and tons of powerful belting. She was beautiful, funny, humble, vulnerable but not fragile, engaging, thrilling, simply perfect! I've never been to a show where every song received a standing ovation. IF YOU DON'T SEE THIS SHOW - YOU'RE A FOOL !

Hello, Sam! This is great! Hope you don't mind, but I used this clip in my blog today regarding the premier TV version of LIZA'S AT THE PALACE!

Love you!

Must have been amazing! Thanks for a unique walk around The Palace--so cool!

Glad you enjoyed the show. She is one hell of a performer!

Amazing, but the " foreign version" she performed abroad in 2007 was even more impressive - and even more physically demanding.

[dv8guyboston]

Geez I wanted to see this show! I envy you all and live through the experience of it through you. Thanks.......(at least I was mentioned on her web site and I am a average guy). Some day to meet her!

[dakki109]

LIZA MINNELLI rules!!! She is still the yardstick wherein all musical performers are to be judged. God bless her. Love her, saw her show .... FABULOUS! You feel you are in the presence of something magically great.

My mom went to see Liza at this show - she just loved it - she's retired and goes to Broadway quite often. Wish I could have seen it with her.
