Trivia

Another song, "Mein Herr" from Cabaret was filmed, but due to time constraints of broadcast TV, this did not make it into the final show. All that remains of this number is a fair quality work print and is included as an extra on the DVD.

Quotes

Liza Minnelli: I have found for a long time people still have been calling me "Lisa." Wrong! My name is Liza. It has a "z" in it. For example, someone might come up to me and say, "Hello, Lisa, how are you?" And I'd say, "Fine, but my name is Liza." Or someone would come up and say, "Oh, Lisa, what a nice hat you have on." And I'd say, "Thank you very much, but my name is Liza, and that's my hair."

User Reviews

the best in showbiz has ever seen in years to come.

wow! i think Liza was a star that really made it to the top...and then some. i think she was such a great performer in her day , she still have that great performer in her to this day.

she really put a lot of pain and sweat in her performance. she truly is a performer by heart. i could'not believe it was the daughter of the all time greatest Judy gander. i thought she was just a fantastic singer. nobody in the world would have thought that she was Judy's daughter.

but some how,she pulled it of. she is just another icon that was in the making.
