Liza Minnelli’s triumphal return to
Broadway in early 1974, after Flora the Red Menace – her first Tony Award at the age of 19 – and her Oscar-winning performance in the film of Cabaret, was a month-long solo engagement at the Winter Garden. Bob Fosse staged the show, and choreographed it with Ron Lewis; John Kander and Fred Ebb, long associated with Minnelli, supplied a few new songs. It was a blockbuster hit, selling out the whole run in a single day. Columbia Records’ original LP release was withdrawn because of contractual conflicts and has been out of circulation until this long-awaited reissue, derived from the original master with the addition of three live bonus tracks.
