Liza Minnelli was joined by former Cabaret co-star Joel Grey on Tuesday, November 25 at NYC's Paley Center for Media for a screening of the full cut of Liza's at the Palace, a recording of Minnelli's most recent show as it was performed at the MGM Grand's Hollywood Theatre in Las Vegas, which will be broadcast on public television in December.
The screening was followed a discussion by Minnelli and Michael Feinstein. Other celebrities at the event included Billy Stritch and Arlene Dahl.
Minnelli opened her show at the Palace Theatre on December 3, 2008. In addition to songs that have long been associated with the performer, such as Kander and Ebb's "New York, New York," the show featured a tribute to her godmother, singer, actress and vocal arranger Kay Thompson. A DVD version of the full two-hour production will be available on February 2, and a 60 minute version will be distributed by American Public Television to public television stations starting November 27.
Minnelli received a 2009 Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event for Liza's at the Palace, as well as a Drama Desk Award for career achievement. She won additional Tony Awards for Flora the Red Menace and The Act, as well as a special Tony Award in 1974. She was also Tony-nominated for The Rink and has starred on Broadway in Victor/Victoria and Chicago. She won the Academy Award for Cabaret and the Emmy Award for Liza With a "Z".
