Liza Minelli at the Bowl

What a treat! I caught Liza Minelli's Saturday show at the Bowl, and it was wonderful. She's a true "showman"--a from the theater, vaudeville performer.

Liza's just come off a broadway show for which she won a Tony award. Several of her numbers this night came from that show. I could just imagine Liza rehearsing even the intros to each; even when speaking as though conversationally, you could tell a lot of thought had gone into not only what she said but how she delivered it. There was even a costume change during the intermission, and a few props that she set up herself.

A highlight of the evening for me was when she sang a duet with her long-time accompanist.

Liza introduced the band with open arms.
