Liza's at the Palace... Extends Two Weeks to December 28
Liza’s at the Palace… will feature signature Minnelli songs as well as a dance-filled tribute to the 1940s nightclub act of her godmother, Kay Thompson. With a 12-piece orchestra led by conductor/drummer Michael Berkowitz and pianist/musical supervisor Billy Stritch, Minnelli will sing hits like "Cabaret," "Maybe This Time" and "New York, New York," which were all written for her by the Broadway song-writing team of John Kander and Fred Ebb. For the tribute to Thompson best known for appearing in the film Funny Face and for writing the children's book Eloise at the Plaza, Minnelli will appear with a quartet of men and perform songs like "I Love a Violin," "Clap Yo' Hands," "Jubilee Time" and "Hello Hello."
Liza's at the Palace... will be directed and choreographed by Ron Lewis, who choreographed The Act, Minnelli's 1977 Tony-winning Broadway triumph. A Las Vegas staple, Lewis has also worked with performers like Ann-Margret, Debbie Reynolds, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Paul Anka. Tony-winning Broadway lyricist David Zippel City of Angels, The Goodbye Girl will collaborate with Minnelli on the script, which will include personal stories and anecdotes.
Minnelli will play a special holiday matinee of the show on Christmas Eve, December 24.
