Calling all Liza fans! Barnes & Nobles is currently selling signed copies of Liza Minnelli’s new memoir, in limited quantities. The new release is, unsurprisingly, flying off the shelves — so you’ll want to act fast.
The global icon and EGOT winner finally tells her own story in “Kids, Wait Till You Hear This,” a 448-page tome that officially releases March 10 from Grand Central Publishing. Told through more than a decade of interviews recorded with her close friend Michael Feinstein, Minnelli covers her rise from Broadway and Hollywood breakout years to the behind-the-scenes reality of her personal life: a long struggle with substance use disorder (which she has said escalated after her mother Judy Garland’s death), multiple rehab attempts, and her current stretch of sobriety; plus chronic anxiety, hospitalizations and private heartbreaks including multiple miscarriages.
“It’s time to tell the truth and help people heal, as I have, one day at a time,” Minnelli writes in the forward of the book.
Ahead of the release, Barnes & Noble is promoting a live, on-stage conversation with Minnelli and Feinstein at LA’s Million Dollar Theater, specifically noting it’s “not a performance but “a chance to see Liza on stage for the first time in 15 years.” Seats include a signed copy of the memoir.
Minelli’s life will also be celebrated in a performance at Carnegie Hall on June 25. In celebration of her 80th birthday. Titled “Liza! at 80: A Celebration in Song and Dance.” Directed by Jack Cummings III, with musical direction by Joey Chancey, the evening will feature classic songs spanning Minnelli’s six-decade career, including her iconic collaborations with Kander and Ebb. Attendees will receive an autographed copy of the memoir.
