Liza Minnelli – Liza’s at the Palace
“Liza Minnelli’s recent stint at New York’s Palace Theater was more than just song and dance: It was a declaration of showbiz survival. And the audience, which showered her with ovations, knew it. So it’s disappointing—and odd—for the accompanying double-CD to be a studio rather than a live recording. The daughter of the iconic Judy Garland, now her own legend at 62, willed herself through the demanding set of American Songbook classics, including showstoppers like “Cabaret” and “But the World Goes ‘Round,” despite two hip replacements, a history of addiction and a public life that would cause other stars to go into hiding. Her voice cracked, her movements were abbreviated, but the veteran carried on and brought the house down. What could have been a warts-and-all testament to Minnelli’s true grit is instead a glossed-up memento for fans. —Kerri Masonâ€
