Could 'Mary Minnelli' be the Broadway baby's baby? This one-woman show -- with sexy back-up dancers Donnell Williams and Joseph Schupbach -- is a vehicle for Mary to connect with the woman she believes to be her biological mother: Liza Minnelli. If the Chicago run goes well, Mary plans to hit the bright lights of New York City and perform for Liza herself, reuniting Mary with her mother and starting her on the life she was meant to live in the first place. Singing, dancing, high drama and sequins come together in this darkly humorous world-premiere by Chicago writer-performer and Neo-Futurists, Mary Fons.

'Mary Minnelli' channels the glamour of a legend in Performing Tonight: Liza Minnelli's Daughter, opening Saturday, April 30, 2011 at The Neo-Futurarium, 5153 N. Ashland.
