I
remember seeing Bobby Kennedy speak, Frank Sinatra sing, The
Rolling Stones perform. These people fill the room, and you
never forget the experience. I saw Liza Minnelli last
night, and... she fills a room. She is no Bobby Kennedy,
but let’s face it, Liza
is
show-biz royalty. The daughter of Judy Garland and Vincent
Minnelli growing up and meeting the most important people in
the world puts some hash marks on your sleeve.
She
did four shows this weekend at the Luxor Hotel, in the same
room as the Blue Man Group performed. |

It
took Liza to finally exorcize all that remained of those
goofy Blue Men. It’s not a showroom; it is a big 1500 seat
theatre, with very fluffy seats. I think because it is a big
dark theatre, |

and no one can see you, people are dressed as if
Texas Chain Saw Murders 3 is playing. I guess it’s
just a sign of the times, this is Thanksgiving
weekend and it’s 100 dollars a pop for tickets, you
would think the Levis and T-shirts would be for
another day. Although even backstage, some of the
people waiting to meet Liza looked like they shopped
at Old Navy.
All kidding aside, I really, really enjoyed the
show, there is something special about one
individual performing in front a 12-piece orchestra,
holding your attention for 90 minutes. |

She was imposing, no fear, she walked around the
stage like my mother in the kitchen. A small woman
with a big voice and it filled the entire room. A
great performer, a first-rate orchestra, with
beautiful songs and music, I will always remember
this experience. I am thankful to Marleen, Ira,
Adrian, and of course Liza, for all their
generosity.
