Minnelli on Minnelli: Live at the Palace
Minnelli on Minnelli: Live at the Palace was a Broadway concert by Liza Minnelli at the Palace Theatre, running from December 8, 1999, to January 2, 2000. The show features songs from films directed by her father, Vincente Minnelli.
A national tour was planned for spring 2000, with 17 cities, but it was cancelled after Minnelli developed hip problems and contracted pneumonia.
The performance was recorded over two nights at the Palace and released as a live album on February 29, 2000. The album was recorded December 27–28, 1999, runs 64 minutes and 59 seconds, and covers show tunes, traditional pop, and vocal jazz. It was produced by Phil Ramone and Billy Stritch.
The show was written and directed by Fred Ebb, and Minnelli was joined by six male dancers. A standout moment was “The Trolley Song,” performed as an electronic duet with her late mother, Judy Garland, who originally introduced the song in the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis.
The Palace Theatre has a history with Garland, having been the site of her famous comebacks in 1951 and 1967.
A review by William Ruhlmann of AllMusic noted that Minnelli’s voice sounded aged and required more breath, with wobbling vibrato. He suggested that while aging can bring depth, the duet with Garland shifted toward self-parody and competition, implying Minnelli may struggle with how to age as a performer.
