Liza Minnelli's Cancelled Concert at Merrill Auditorium Will Not Be Rescheduled

Portland Ovations is sorry to announce that the cancelled appearance of Liza Minnelli in concert at Merrill Auditorium will not be rescheduled.

Ovations has been in communication with Ms. Minnelli's representatives since her cancellation on September 29th, trying to secure a new concert date in early November. Unfortunately Ovations has just been informed that Ms. Minnelli is now cancelling all appearances for a least another month due to bronchial pneumonia. An official statement from her publicist states Liza's physician has ordered her to cancel her next seven scheduled concerts on her tour.

Ovations wishes Ms. Minnelli a speedy recovery and is very sorry to those devoted fans that have held on to their tickets in hopes of a rescheduled concert date.

Remaining ticket holders have three options:

1. Exchange ticket(s) for a ticket(s) to another performance within Ovations' current season.
2. Turn in ticket(s) as a tax deductible donation to Portland Ovations.
3. Obtain a refund from PortTix for the value of the ticket(s) purchased by calling 207.842.0800 or visiting the box office window at 20 Myrtle Street in Portland.

Ovations would like to thank our patrons for their patience and continued support throughout this unfortunate situation. Ovations will consider scheduling Ms. Minnelli as an artist within a future season, once her health improves.

Ovations is now focused on presenting a number of great performances, lectures, masterclasses, in-school workshops, professional development workshops, school-time performances and meet-the-artist opportunities that are planned for the remainder of the season.
