Liza Minnelli Wins 4th Tony Award
“Best Special Theatrical Event”

Australian Tour from 16 October

It has just been announced in New York that Liza Minnelli has won the 2009 Tony Award in the category Best Special Theatrical Event for the New York concerts that she has recently performed – “Liza’s at the Palace”. This will be the 4th Tony Award that Liza Minnelli has won in her illustrious career.

This is just another accolade in a career that includes multiple Tony awards, Academy Awards®, a Golden Globe Award and BAFTA Award, an Emmy Award, and she was the recipient of a Grammy Legend Award in 1989, making her one of the few artists who have won entertainment's top six awards

Chugg Entertainment and David M. Hawkins congratulate Liza Minnelli and are thrilled to be presenting her Australian tour from 16 October 2009.

Bringing her unstoppable Minnelli magic to Australia, Liza will tour nationally during October in an unmatchable concert performance. Based on her current hit Broadway show “Liza’s At The Palace”, the evening will feature an incomparable Minnelli songfest including many of her personal favourites and signature hits. Along with a twelve-piece orchestra the performance will feature Liza’s showstoppers such as “Cabaret”, “Maybe This Time” and “Theme From New York, New York”.

Liza Minnelli first toured Australia in the late 1960’s with Peter Allen and played Chequers Nite Club in Sydney. She also made a television special in 1968 for TCN9 called ‘Liza’, and appeared with the Allen Brothers on Bandstand in 1969. Her first major solo Australian tour was in 1981 playing all major cities nationally. The last visit to Australia for Liza was with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jnr. in 1989 with The Ultimate Event.

After an exodus of twenty years this will be one of the most triumphant and eagerly awaited return concerts on the Australian musical stage.
