Liza with a "Z" : a concert for television

DVD 2006

In 1972, Liza Minnelli and Broadway legend Bob Fosse took the Oscars by storm for Cabaret. That same year, the two paired up once again to create the spectacular musical special Liza with a Z, making television history and carting home four Emmys in the process. In 2000, Showtime presented a restored version of the special.
