On a late spring night in 1972, Liza Minnelli took over New
York's Lyceum Theater for what would be the performance of a
lifetime. Alone on stage, guided by the masterful showmanship
of the legendary Bob Fosse and captured with eight 16mm cameras by
Academy Award®-winning cinematographer Owen Roizman,
Minnelli's tour-de-force performance became one of the most
celebrated television specials of a generation. Now, for the
first time in more than three decades, viewers have the rare
opportunity to experience this unforgettable event with a fully
restored and digitally remastered classic.
Minnelli has teamed with producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron
(executive producers of the Oscar®-winning
Chicago, which ironically began as a Bob Fosse stage
musical) to present the first-ever, fully restored and digitally
remastered special. The special is quintessential Minnelli as she
effortlessly moves from one musical genre to the next, delivering
scintillating versions of such classics as "Yes,""God Bless the
Child," "It Was a Good Time,""I Gotcha,""Ring Them
Bells,""Son of a Preacher Man,""Bye, Bye Blackbird,""You've
Let Yourself Go,""My Mammy,"a"Cabaret" medley and the incomparable,
tongue-twisting title song, "Liza with a 'Z'."
