LEGENDS #7 LIZA MINNELLI

The Christmas "Legends" ornament from Broadway Cares in 2014 was dedicated to Liza Minnelli for her work in "The Act."

A totally original musical with a book by George Furth, lyrics by John Kander and music by Fred Ebb, it was designed as a showcase for Ms. Minnelli's talents.  It was directed by none other tham Martin Scorsese and choreographer by Ron Lewis (with uncredited help from Gower Champion). The costumes were by Ms. Minnelli's friend, Halston.

In 1978, Ms. Minnelli won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and her ornament is pictured below along with a photo from the show.  The Best Musical that year was "Ain't Misbehavin'"
