Transport Group will present Liza! at 80: A Celebration in Song and Dance, celebrating the legendary performer’s extraordinary career and 80th birthday. The event will take place—for one night only—on Thursday, June 25, at 8:00 p.m. at Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, Carnegie Hall. The evening will be the twelfth presentation in the company’s Anne L. Bernstein Concert Series. The cast will be announced at a later date.

The evening is produced in collaboration with Carrberry Companies and v2 Entertainment Group.

The all-star tribute concert will celebrate Ms. Minnelli’s more than 60-year career and feature musical selections spanning the EGOT winner’s entire body of work with a focus on her inextricable collaborations with John Kander & Fred Ebb, including Cabaret; The Rink; Liza With a “Z”; and New York, New York. The concert also celebrates the March publication of her memoir, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! (Hachette/Grand Central Publishing). Each patron will receive a copy of this memoir, autographed by Liza Minnelli.

Liza! at 80, which will be performed by a 30-piece orchestra, will feature classic songs from Ms. Minnelli’s career, performed by a lineup of all-star performers, as well as backstage stories and firsthand anecdotes, and selections of Bob Fosse’s original choreography reconstructed by The Verdon Fosse Legacy.
