According to a listing on Facebook, Liza Minnelli will appear in her first concert in more than a year this summer.

Minnelli is slated to perform on Friday, July 24 at 8 p.m. at the IP Casino Resort Spa in Biloxi, Mississippi.

No word yet on whether this is part of a larger concert tour, but BWW will keep you updated as we learn more!

Minnelli, who just finished a successful stint in rehab, was recently named the recipient of the 2015 JACK VALENTI - LOS ANGELES, ITALIA LEGEND AWARD.

The star followed her parents into the entertainment arena at the tender age of 2, co-starring with her mother in the 1949 film IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME.

In 1965, she won a Tony Award for her performance in FLORA, THE RED MENACE, becoming the youngest-ever actress to win a Tony for a musical role; it was the first of four Tonys she would earn.

She is the only singer in history to sell out Carnegie Hall for three consecutive weeks. Her hit songs include "Liza (With a "Z")," "Theme from New York, New York," "Cabaret," "Walking Papers," "Quiet Thing," "Old Friends," "Maybe This Time," "Little Do They Know," "I (Who Have Nothing)," "God Bless the Child."

Her movie credits include 1972's CABARET, for which she won an Academy Award; NEW YORK, NEW YORK, co-starring Robert De Niro; and the ARTHUR films with Dudley Moore.

She has appeared as herself on TV in SMASH, THE VOICE UK, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, THE APPRENTICE, and more, and is well known for her portrayal of 'Lucille Austero' in the Netflix comedy ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.
