Liza Minnelli, at her best, performs Nowadays, from Chicago, with John Kander and Fred Ebb on Dinah Shore's TV Show. There's a little surprise at the end of the video. You don't want to miss it.
Why is everyone comparing Liza Minnelli, who is a legend, to GLEE?! Come on people...at least compare her to someone good and slightly in her league!

Liza had been life long friends with Bob Fosse, John Kander, Fred Ebb, Gwen Verdon and Chita. Her loyalty to her friends is literally what saved the show. She went into "Chicago!" with literally only one weeks rehearasl and without the theater public knowing until the curtain was raisied on opening night, who was playing Roxie Hart. She played the part until Gwen Verdon's knee healed.

The real irony of it all is that there's no such person as Liza Minelli. It's really sad that 41 years after she became a superstar and the new Miss Show Business according to Time magazine (she made the cover of Time and Newsweek the same week, an extraordinary feat) some fans can't spell her name correctly. As she sings in "Liza with a Z": It's M I double N, then E double L I. Minnelli. Liza Minnelli. It's Italian. Blame it on papa.

I thought it was absolutely genuine and sweet... an exhibition of a real friendship. Liza and Chita are wonderful friends and to see how excited Liza was at the sight of such a good friend was really touching. They're obviously both incomparable performers--incomparable to each other and incomparable to anyone else ever to grace the stage. So much history, so many originated roles... for both of them. What a wonderful video.

My native language is russian. I'm making an effort speaking english. In russian Minnelli is spelled like you say "counter-clockwise". Beside, I knew that the last name is with two N, but I just typed it wrong. And finally, I'm not a fan of Lisa minely. I just recognize the great star that she was.

Her version was like Eddie Cantor and it was fun. It was very strange though when Chita Rivera comes to the footlights in silhouette at the beginning of the show and the audience SCREAMED thinking she was Liza. It was rude when the applause died.

This was a great moment. Chita originated the role of Thelma on Broadway and Liza played Thelma in a Chicago revival in the 70s. And there was an attempt to bring it to film with Liza as Thelma and Goldie Hawn as Roxie but the project fell through. I do not know if this was filmed before, during, or after Liza's Briadway run but I saw Chita's surprise entrance as a passing of the torch moment.
