Liza Minnelli Lights Up the New Year " benefits the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.* ~ VIDEO

Liza Minnelli is in the holiday spirit, and she's sharing it with New York!
ET was with the singer and her Broadway cast of Liza's At the Palace as they hopped on "snowmobikes" to help Duracell capture power that will illuminate the numerals 2-0-0-9 as the New Year's Ball drops. Liza and her cast are a part of the event because it benefits the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
"What happens is whoever is riding these bikes here ... it is storing energy that on New Year's Eve, coming into 2009, will light up Times Square," Liza tells ET. "Anybody can come down here and pedal and be a part of something that will go on forever."
During the month of December, you can catch Liza and her Broadway show at the Palace Theatre, where the singer performs many of her showstoppers including "Cabaret" and "New York, New York."
