I've always assumed that the signature in the book I got at the Million Dollar Theater is a fake. 

Liza's Signature Doubted

I know this more properly belongs on the off-topic board, but that place is virtually abandoned.

Bette Goes Country, if not a little gospel.

Yazz said, "Hayfever is great! Wouldn’t work in the US. Doesn’t work in the UK."

There was a wonderful production of Hay Fever in 1985 directed by Brian Murray with a cast partly Brit, partly American including Rosemary Harris, Roy Dotrice, Barbara Bryne, Robert Joy, Charles Kimbrough, and Deborah Rush. All were wonderful, especially Rush and Bryne. 

I don't think that anyone who has posted on this thread is Annie Wilkes.

The biggest takeaway from this thread is the overwhelming number of posters who genuinely care about Liza.

TheatreAddict, I LOVE your post!

It articulates my uncertainty about Feinstein's motivation. Of course, I hope that everything he does is out of devotion to Liza. 

I am distressed by Bettyboy72's post that someone has posted Liza's exit from the Million Dollar Theatre. I was on the sidewalk when she left and my first thought was, There is no way in hell I'm filming or photographing this. 

I have been thinking about Liza ever since I saw her Tuesday night at the Million Dollar Theatre.

I truly hope that the night emphasized to her the solid fan base (albeit aging) that she still has.

I don't really care that the autograph in the book was autopen or whatever. 

What I care about is that I saw Liza for the first time in 35 years!

It meant a great deal to me.

Actually, Jonathan, AI made an appearance:  excerpts from the audio book were played at tonight's event. 

Absolutely, Giants!

I will never forget her saying that.

Also, the rewritten ending to "Fly Me to the Moon."

I was standing on the sidewalk when they were doing their best to get Liza in her car. It was heartbreaking.

When she finally got settled in the backseat, she looked at me. I waved and blew her a kiss. She smiled and did the same back.

I teared up. 

I just got back, and I'm very glad that I went.

Yes, Liza is frail, but it's still LIZA!

She sang "Our Love Is Here to Stay," which thrilled me!

Roscoe, you are not alone.

I found it overrated and tedious. 

Dame said, "You think eventually they will sell some discounted seats?  It will be heartbreaking for her to step out to a empty theater"

I have a ticket and am looking forward to it; however, I will not be surprised if it is canceled. It simply is not selling, as Dame pointed out.

They will have to discount, paper, or cancel. 

I just bought a ticket and will be driving from southern Nevada for this. 

I saw LIza in The Rink; a concert in Nashville; and, most importantly, at Carnegie Hall. I'll be happy to see her again, 

even though it will just be a conservation. 

Happily, the Fine Arts in Beverly Hills is showing The Magnificent Ambersons the next night. 

I saw this last night.

Inspired lunacy! The energy from the cast was incredible. I often find plays like this a bit tedious after awhile; however, that really was not the case last night. The scene at Ford's Theatre was pure gold, and the final scene was very funny, albeit a bit too long.

The cast was uniformly excellent. I particularly liked Tom Macht.

Fun evening!

 

I am extremely saddened to see this.

Moira Rose is one of the greatest characterizations in television history.

As a teenager, I was totally devoted to SCTV.

She and Andrea Martin did a spoof of The Miracle Worker called Gangway for a Miracle.

If you've never seen it, find it.
