LIZA AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL

Liza at the Hollywood Bowl

Almost didn’t make it to see Liza…again at the last moment decided go to the Bowl and see if I could get a ticket.   Ended up with a nice seat in the center.   They made an announcement that there was something wrong with the sound and that they were working on it.   A huge moan with many thinking she’s late.   Soon her voice comes over the stage sound….Hi…I am here…and there is really something wrong with the sound…but I am here and I will be out soon….big sighs of relief.   When she made her entrance and that girl knows how to make an entrance, she was greeted by thunderous applause.   She looked absolutely great and started to sing….her voice seemed a little weak but still it was Liza.  The most amazing thing happened…as she went on singing…her voice returned to normal and each song was better than the last one…she dedicated the evening to Marvin Hamlisch who had just passed away.  He had written many things for her and she mentioned him several times during the show.  By the time she sang Cabaret, New York, New York and Liza With a Z, the audience was all hers.  Nobody does it better!  After several curtain calls, the band left the stage and she followed them….turned back and slowly walked to center stage and sang I’ll Be Seeing You acapella The audience who always try to get a head start toward the parking lot stopped in their tracks, not a sound from anyone, turned to the stage, mesmerized until she finished the song and then really went crazy…as I said…nobody does it better!
