Liza Minnelli and the cast from "Liza's At The Palace...!" made a special appearance on behalf of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS at the Duracell Power Lodge before they all hopped on specially designed "Snowmobikes" to help Duracell capture power that will illuminate the iconic numerals 2-0-0-9 as the New Year's Ball drops and the clock strikes midnight. BroadwayWorld was there to cheer them on as they burned rubber on Tuesday December 9th!
