Liza's Back
Fresh from the glow of her new marriage, Liza Minnelli made a seven-night stand on Broadway in June 2002. Liza's Back is a triumphant return, with Minnelli sounding better than she has in years. Indeed, she sounds much better here than in her 1999 comeback, Minnelli on Minnelli, which was an exciting, deeply emotional tribute to her parents that found the singer in less than ideal form. But in this show created and produced by her new husband, David Gest, she sounds great in a Cabaret set and in a reprise of the best MoM song, "What Did I Have That I Don't Have." And she shines in a few of her other standards, especially "Some People" and "New York, New York." Of course, there are numerous references to her personal life and new material by Kander and Ebb, but there are also surprises: "Rose's Turn," an a cappella "I'll Be Seeing You," and a "Never Never Land" that closes with a bit of her mother's signature song, "Over the Rainbow." Minnelli tells her loving audience, "I will remember this my whole life.... I'm so honored and so happy that you came this evening." So were they. --David Horiuchi
