Aw, thanks Joe.
I’m still having a fab time in NY… saw Ragtime last night, John Cameron Mitchell in Oh Mary on Friday evening followed by a jazz set at the Village Vanguard, with other things planned to bring me joy and lift my spirits. It’s definitely a downer, but I know it's a first world problem!
Commiserations to my fellow disappointees.
One day it’s kicks, then it’s kicks in the shins… but the planet spins, and the

Just as I arrived in New York. Just as I let myself believe it was gonna happen.
It’s okay. I knew it might. I'll cope. I’m still gonna make the most of my time here and see shows I might otherwise have missed.
I still love Liza.

Oh, right, thank you. I think I knew that. I'm starting to believe it's actually gonna happen. I'm leaving for the Big Apple tomorrow… it better! 😀

When will we know more about the event at the Streicker Center? It seems to be sold out, but at which venue? What does "reserved seating" mean, is it a guaranteed decent seat? Should I get there early for a good one?
Edit… oh wait, the reserved access area is sold out, but "few remaining tickets" left for general admission

I like to think these events will spark some joy for her, let her know she is still valued, and perhaps make her feel like she’s in her prime again. If only for a moment.
I do have a ticket for next Monday though, so it suits me to not feel complicit. I really hope Feinstein does care enough about Liza to not put her in harm’s way. ☹️

Binau, you have a very high opinion of your own critical thinking skills and write everybody else off en masse. Of course that is bound to cause friction. You can sound extremely patronizing. You make broad assumptions about where "we" get our news. I suggest you may be very wrong. I for one value true independent journalism. It still exists.

I know language evolves, but what does "troll" mean now?
Anyone who has a different opinion to Highland Guy is labelled a troll.
I believe binau to genuinely hold these views, as much as they may irk. By the standard definition of “troll" (as I know it), I would not class him in that category.

Using "mental illness" as a pejorative is the least okay thing about this thread.

Barbra convinced me that maybe audiobooks are the best way to "read" a memoir, but now they've been ruined. 😠

BrodyFosse123 said: "The audiobook is using the cloning of Liza’s voice made by ElevenLabs. They chose to use her 80s-90s voice instead of her real voice as it sounds today. The Ai generated voice is reading the text of the book and it’s obvious no one ever went back in and fixed and polished things up, which is why sentences end and begin in a weird flow. They literally just hit record, uploaded the file, and that’s it. No proofing to make sure it sounded right, et

I'd probably have started the audiobook if I was sure it was real, but I'm gonna wait 'til I pick up my physical copy on March 23rd.
I just remembered that Stephanie J. Block narrated Cher's memoir, and that she also played Liza on Broadway. A missed opportunity, I certainly would have preferred that to AI.

Any chance Liza might head over to see Billy at the Birdland after the book event on Monday 23rd?

Is sports just "entertainment"?
I’ve always found it sad that sport is sacrosanct, revered, hero-making… but arts and culture is just unimportant colorful fluff. Societally speaking. ☹️

Casual theater goers, or first timers, aren't aware of the hoops they need to jump through to get a semi-reasonable price. They just glance disbelievingly at the outrageous figures and move on. Never to return.
It's not outrageous to suggest the Mayor of NY might intervene in tourist/economic/social/educational matters. It was just a question.
I’m jealous, quizking. Sounds like a great trip, very well planned. 7 shows in 3 days? I tip my hat.

How do unions etc. play into the stratospheric prices for something like the return of Leslie Odom Jr.? Surely pure greed plays a role too.
