Liza Minnelli comes to Chrysler Hall, Norfolk for One Night Only April 24 at 8:00 PM

An icon of stage and screen, Liza Minnelli has won virtually every major award, including an Oscar, three Tonys, two Golden Globes, a Grammy, and an Emmy. Surrender to an unstoppable force-a performer who commands the stage with irresistible musical style and sheer star power. Fresh from her triumphant Broadway engagement, she's here for one night only.

Liza Minnelli performed at The Palace Theatre from December 3, 2008 to January 4, 2009, in a show called Liza's at The Palace. Ms. Minnelli was born March 12, 1946, in Los Angeles, California, to the actress/singer Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli, the film director responsible for such classics as Meet Me in St. Louis and An American in Paris. She began her career at a very early age, co-starring with her mother in the film, In the Good Old Summertime in 1949. At the age of 10, she hosted the first-ever television broadcast of The Wizard of Oz. By 19, she had landed the lead role in the Broadway show, Flora, the Red Menace, which won her a Tony Award for Best Actress in a musical. In 1967 she went on to star in several films, including Charlie Bubbles, The Sterile Cuckoo, and Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon. In 1972 she played Sally Bowles in Cabaret.

The film won eight Oscars, including Best Actress for Ms. Minnelli. The role also earned her a Golden Globe and a British Film Academy Award. She also starred in the first concert ever filmed live for television in 1972 - Liza with a Z - which produced a Top-20 album and won the Emmy for Outstanding Single Program. In 1977 she appeared opposite Robert DeNiro in the musical, New York, New York, directed by Martin Scorsese. Other films include Arthur and Arthur 2: On the Rocks. Her Broadway credits also include Victor/Victoria and Minnelli on Minnelli, a tribute to her father.
