MEDIA RELEASE
Liza Minnelli Media Conference
Tuesday 13 October at 1pm
Northern Foyer, Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House
Chugg Entertainment and David M. Hawkins are proud to present the long awaited return of award winning superstar Liza Minnelli. Bringing her unstoppable Minnelli magic to Australia, Liza will tour nationally from 16 October in an unmatchable concert performance. Based on her current hit Broadway show "Liza's At The Palace", the evening will feature an incomparable Minnelli songfest including many of her personal favourites and signature hits.
Prior to the commencement of the tour Liza Minnelli invites the press to meet her at a Media Conference on Tuesday 13 October at 1pm in the Northern Foyer, Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House.
Along with a twelve-piece orchestra led by conductor/drummer Michael Berkowitz and pianist/musical supervisor Billy Stritch, the concerts will feature many of Liza's showstoppers such as "Cabaret", "Maybe This Time" and "Theme From New York, New York" all written especially for her by the legendary Broadway song writing partnership of John Kander and Fred Ebb.
Liza Minnelli first toured Australia in the late 1960's with Peter Allen and played Chequers Nite Club in Sydney. She also made a television special in 1968 for TCN9 called 'Liza', and appeared with the Allen Brothers on Bandstand in 1969. Her first major solo Australian tour was in 1981 playing all major cities nationally. The last visit to Australia for Liza was with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jnr. in 1989 with The Ultimate Event.
After an absence of twenty years this will be one of the most triumphant and eagerly awaited return concerts on the Australian musical stage.
