WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Fear not, Liza Minnelli fans. The Broadway legend is still on schedule to perform in Wilmington next week even after having to cancel appearances across the pond this week.

“Liza Minnelli’s appearances in the UK were unfortunately cancelled because of the promoter’s failure to pay,” Minnelli’s publicist Scott Gorenstein told WWAY in an e-mail Friday. “Due to current economics and unusually high ticket prices, the producer was unable to secure the promised funds.”

Tickets to the shows, which Gorenstein said were not concerts, but Q&A with a moderator ending with Minnelli singing a few songs with piano accompaniment, reportedly cost about $450.

Gorenstein said the British cancellations do not affect Minnelli’s Oct. 3 performance in Wilmington, when she will join the North Carolina Symphony for the gala opening of Cape Fear Community College’s Humanities and Fine Arts Center.

A CFCC spokesman says the school has sold more than 1,000 tickets for the show in the 1,500-seat auditorium. Tickets for the black-tie event are $225. Proceeds benefit the CFCC Foundation.

Minnelli is being paid $125,000 for her Wilmington show.
