Liza - What more needs to be said? Winner of four Tony Awards, an Oscar, a special Grammy Legend Award®, two Golden Globe Awards, and an Emmy, she’s one of the entertainment world’s most iconic performers. Liza gives new dimension and credibility to the words “superstar” and “Diva.”Already established as a nightclub singer and a musical theatre actress, she first attracted critical acclaim for her dramatic performances in the movies The Sterile Cuckoo (1969) and Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon (1970). Minnelli rose to international stardom for her appearance as Sally Bowles in the 1972 film version of the Broadway musical Cabaret, a role that brought her the Academy Award for Best Actress. While film projects such as Lucky Lady, A Matter of Time and New York, New York were less favorably received than her stage roles, Minnelli found herself as one of the most versatile, highly regarded and best-selling entertainers in television, beginning with Liza with a Z in 1972, and on stage in the Broadway productions Flora the Red Menace, The Act and The Rink. Minnelli continued to dominate with international concert tours and appearances such as Liza Minnelli: At Carnegie Hall, Frank, Liza & Sammy: The Ultimate Event, and Liza Live from Radio City Music Hall. Liza Minnelli comes to the Peace Center on September 8, don't miss your chance to catch the legend live in action. For tickets or more information, please visit /www.peacecenter.org.
