I saw Liza in concert at Roy Thomson Hall last night and I'm not afraid to tell you that it was absolutely thrilling. I was grinning from ear to ear. This woman is an icon. She isn't just a friend of Dorothy, she's her daughter!
The place was lousy with gay guys. No big surprise there. Liza's a bigger drag queen then most of the guys in the audience.
She clearly knows and loves her fans, too. Which probably explains her show stopping number from Charles Aznavour: What makes a man. Click here for a little gay ed.
I can't remember the last time I saw so many people rush the stage to present flowers and gifts to a performer.
After one fellow presented her with a particularly large and lovely bouquet of tulips, she quipped: "Oh honey, these are expensive!," then (one beat) "I'm just happy when you show up."
So are we, Liza. So are we.

I saw a clip of her singing on the Oscars once... doing a little intro. to the show. Loved it. I always walk around singing "Os-car! Everybody loves ya Os-cah!!"
Oh, and can you get any better than 1991's "Stepping Out" starring Miss Liza??
I think not.
