Back in March, Liza Minnelli and Alan Cumming, in celebration of Liza's birthday, joined forces at The Town Hall to sing familiar songs from "Cabaret" and and more. The show was previously performed at Fire Island last summer, produced by Daniel Nardicio, and according to Michael Musto for Out.com, the act will move again- this time to Broadway.

The show will reportedly play the Marquis Theatre this December for 12 performances, and willl feature Billy Stritch and Lance Horne as musical accompanists.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, Cumming will then reprise his role as the Emcee in a Roundabout Theater Company reveival of Cabaret. The show will begin rehearsals in January 2014 and will play Studio 54 in early 2014.

Both Cumming and Minnelli are closely identified with the landmark musical "Cabaret"- Liza famously won an Academy-Award for the movie version and Alan won a Tony-Award for the acclaimed Broadway revival.

One of the world's best-loved entertainers, she won Tony awards for Flora, the Red Menace in 1965 and The Act in 1978, along with a third for Best Personal Achievement, resulting from her 1974 engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre. Nominated for an Academy Award for The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), she won the best actress prize for her best-known film, Cabaret (1972), which also won her a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA. She won an Emmy for Liza with a 'Z' (1972) and was also the recipient of a Grammy Legend Award in 1989, making her one of the few artists who have won entertainment's top six awards.
