Liza Minnelli's new memoir, “Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!” is out, featuring candid stories about her relationship with Martin Scorsese Distractify, BroadwayWorld. It's being celebrated alongside her 80th birthday BroadwayWorld. The memoir is now widely available Distractify.
Minnelli's memoir, co-authored with Michael Feinstein, details her "amour fou" with Martin Scorsese during the filming of "New York, New York" in 1977. Both were married to other people at the time. Minnelli describes their relationship as a "powerful hypnotic drug" fueled by cocaine abuse. The book reveals that Scorsese berated Minnelli for also having an affair with Mikhail Baryshnikov. Minnelli admits to sleeping with the dancer. She also recounts an incident where she and Scorsese showed up at Halston's residence looking for drugs, which later appeared in Andy Warhol's diaries. Minnelli will celebrate her 80th birthday with a Carnegie Hall concert on June 25, titled "Liza! at 80: A Celebration in Song and Dance". The concert will feature a 30-piece orchestra and selections from her collaborations with John Kander and Fred Ebb. Attendees will receive a signed copy of her memoir. Seth Sikes will also host a tribute at 54 Below. The memoir also details a tense encounter with Lady Gaga at the 2022 Oscars, where Minnelli felt "humiliated". She claims Gaga dismissed her request to sit in a director's chair and insisted she be in a wheelchair. Minnelli says she never received an apology from Gaga.
