Liza Minnelli Returns to Broadway

Liza Minnelli’s admirers will have the chance to see and listen to the music of their favourite actress and singer when the diva will return to Broadway in December. Liza Minnelli will play a two-week concert engagement, “Liza at the Place,” which will run from Dec. 3-14, producer John Scher announced Sunday.

Produced by John Scher/ Metropolitan Talent Presents & Jubilee Time Productions, directed and choreographed by Ron Lewis, the concert will include many of Liza’s personal favourites and signature hits, as well as a dance-filled tribute to KayThomson, Minnelli’s grandmother and an entertainer, best known for appearing in the film “Funny Face” and for writing the children’s book “Eloise at the Plaza.” Liza Minneli will appear with a quartet of men and perform songs like “I Love a Violin,” “Clap Yo’ Hands,” “Jubilee Time” and “Hello Hello.” Accompanying her on stage will be Cortés Alexander, Jim Caruso, Tiger Martina and Johny Rodgers.

Minnelli will be accompanied by a twelve-man orchestra led by conductor Michael Berkowitz and pianist Billy Strich. 

The evening will feature hits like “Cabaret,” her signature-song “New York, New York,” “Maybe This Time,” songs written especially for her by the Broadway song-writing team of John Kander and Fred Ebb.

In 1972, Liza Minnelli won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Cabaret. Apart from her Academy Award, she also won an Emmy Award, three Tony Awards, a 1989 Grammy Legend Award, and two Golden Globe Awards. Liza Minnelli is the only winner of an Academy Award whose parents were both winners of it as well.
