Who is Liza Minnelli?

Liza Minnelli, born in 1946, is an American actress, singer and dancer, and one of the last great legends of the American stage. The daughter of Judy Garland and the director Vincente Minnelli, she moved to New York in 1961 and built her name in musical theatre, nightclubs and traditional pop, becoming famous for a commanding stage presence and a powerful alto voice.

The honours are extraordinary: an Academy Award for playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret, a BAFTA, an Emmy, two Golden Globes and four Tony Awards, plus an honorary Grammy that makes her one of the few performers with an EGOT. Her collaborations with the songwriters John Kander and Fred Ebb gave her signature songs including “New York, New York”, “Cabaret” and “Maybe This Time”, and her concerts at Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall rank among the most celebrated of their kind. In 2026 she published her memoir, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!, which went straight to the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

Liza Minnelli in audiobooks

That memoir, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!, is the Minnelli title in our catalogue, and it is hard to imagine a life better suited to the audiobook form. This is show business remembered from the inside: a childhood between Garland and Minnelli, the New York stage, Kander and Ebb, the triumphs and the harder years. For UK listeners who know her chiefly through Cabaret, it offers the fuller picture – a performer’s story from someone who has spent a lifetime holding a room, now holding a listener instead.
