Liza Minnelli Performing Mein Herr with Chair

DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE! RATE IT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

"Mein Herr"
Written by John Kander and Fred Ebb
Sung by Liza Minnelli

Bob Fosse Choreographed and Directed Liza Minnelli Performing Mein Herr in "Cabaret" before her arthritis, 3 hip replacements and a recent knee replacement.

Dancers have a very poor shelf life. Gwen Verdon could not keep her head steady for decades. The world's best dancers always wind up crippled.

Madonna paid homage to this number, Dancing with a Chair, for her "Confessions on a Dance Floor" tour which was her tribute to the stars of the 70s. Fosse stole it from Marlene Dietrich. Nothing is new. The smart ones only steal from the best.

@LaredKroenen Lady Gaga could only HOPE AND WISH to have the talent the lint has in Liza's pockets. Blasphemy.

@custardaghost What are you talking about! if you are a dancer or not there is nothing there that will injure her back . As for stiff and jerky! i think you mean stylised , that was Bob Fosse!!

I absolutely LOVE the look on Sally's face at the end of the number ... around 4:55 ... she looks so exhilarated and proud of herself ;)

@hkins

Sally Bowles was an amateur and so Fosse and Liza deliberately made her performance the stiff, jerky, over-exuberent gestures of an enthusiastic exhibitionist who'd never had a dance lesson. Liza permanently damaged her back doing those moves.

Ahh Fosse we miss the trademark strength and upraised shoulders. Murder to dance though, I don't wonder she got arthritis, I've had more injuries doing fosse than classical ballet!
