Gary And Sammy see Liza At the palace! by GARY!

Hi gang I only have a few short minutes so here is a brief Review for our trip to see Liza at The Palace. We were both spellbound. If you havent seen Liza lately or even if you saw here in Florida or Europe you havent seen nuttin yet!! She was the best Ihave seen here in years she looked and sounded stupendous and put on the best show I have seen since maybe the 70's. For those of you who have not been thrilled with the Kay Thompson section you should see how polished and organized it is now. The orchestra is 12 pieces of POW, the lighting is glorious, the dancers are perfect and Liza should get a special Tony for this. She is a testament to discipline and going forward in life and as Obama says YES WE CAN well YES SHE DID!! The first act was Liza with the band in a gorgeous white outfit singing her heart out and included two new ballads What Makes A Man A Man and sorry I forgot the second title.When she sang Maybe This time sitting down it was the best version I have heard in years. I could go on and I will. By the time she got to Cabaret the audience was in a frenzy. She topped herself with the famous garland Palace medley which she dedicated to her mom with a brand new set of opening lyrics. There were tears in the audience I know I was crying. Then Jared, I loaded up on gorgeous souveniers and have no regrets about the 100.00 bucks I spent. The second Act started out with Liza doing the most powerful And the World Goes Round I have heard in years, followed by the Kay Thompson section which was tighter and more cohesive then any time I saw it previously. The sweat from Liza was palpable but what a trouper. When she finally got To NY NY she stunned us all by going to the higher double version and NAILING IT!!!!!. The audience would not let her go. Oh I forgot she wore a black outfit with legs up to her chest followed in the final section with a gorgeous Red outfit. Since they wouldnt let her off the stage and the orchestra was gone. She came out to the piano with Billy Stritch and sang not I 'll be Seeing you but HAVE yourself a Merry Little Xmas which brought more tears and then said a quite Merry Xmas to everyone and then she was gone. Oh during the show she kept saying I'm at the Palace I'm at the Palace which endeared her even more to all of us. The Liza glow will stay with me for a long time to come. Since Sammy had not seen her on a proper theatre and on a real stage before he was in awe. Could you blame him? I have signed up for a lottery on theatremania.com If Ishould win ha ha I will RUN not Walk back to the theatre for more. If I can think of more details about this wonderful day I will post later forgive the typing errors I know you get the gist. Did we like it HELL WE LOOOOOVED it Liza please keep going we are sooooooooo proud of you. all my love Gary S from TBA. PS if it tours near you Bradly and Bryan are you listening DONT MISS THIS ONE. though Sammy and I already bought the CD it will be available online soon and at the stores in February. Sammy please feel free to add your thoughts. by The Musicman Gary Smiler
