Do Liza Minnelli and her sister get on well or is there some nastiness there>? Who's fault is it if so and how long has it gone on? How come they never sang together?

Orpheum,

Yes. they are friends now and yes they have sang together. Even doing a ill adviced medley at the Tony awards a few years ago. Welcome to the board and don't pay any attention to these bitches that are criticizing your post.
( They are usually wonderful and nice posters that must have gotten up on the wrong side of bed)

Dame, what Tony awards did they sing on? I don't remember that at all, and I haven't missed an episode in 15 years.

Why do they have to be friends or foes?

[DAME]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:00pm

On the other hand... YOU JUST JOINED TO ASK THAT?

[Orpheum]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:01pm

Thanks DAME. I never knew they sang together at the Tonys. Good to know that they are friends now.

And hey, sorry I didn't mean to get up anyones back!

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:01pm

Yeah and don't pay attention to that bitch who uses the alternate spelling of criticize. She's usually a fine speller.

and you joined just to ask that question?

It was about 6 years ago I think. Lorna was about to do Guys and dolls on tour.

Dame, I'd like to be rechristened Bitchy Hussy if it hasn't already been bestowed. I never liked Silly Hussy.

[DAME]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:05pm

Bitchy Hussy it is. Anything for you.

[Orpheum]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:07pm

I guess they don't have to be friends or foes, etoile.

Gee, I never thought I'd be up for such scrutiny!

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:10pm

Thanks, Dame. It's much more suited to me.

[DAME]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:10pm

relax. It is their way of saying welcome.

[DAME]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:10pm

You are welcome Rath. i love someone that knows who they are.

By the way..what songs did the Tonys medley include?

And does anyone know if Songs My Mother Taught Me will ever see the light of dat?

Both Liza and Lorna are co-owners of the Minnelli Deli but Menudo Minnelli actually manages the business.

[Orpheum]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:27pm

Minnelli Deli - too funny!

That tour was more than 6 years ago, since the Guys & Dolls revival was in 1992. I remember the tour didn't last very long either.

[Orpheum]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 5:58pm

So did they ever fall out? Why so?

[PalJoey]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 7:58pm

As both Liza and Lorna would say to you: "Tell us about your relationship with YOUR sister, Orpheum."

[Orpheum]

Posted: 8/24/05 at 8:02pm

But I'm not asking THEM, I'm asking YOU!

I remember it as being on the 1993 broadcast (which Liza hosted) and one of the songs in the medley was "Not While I'm Around." I have it on tape somewhere, but I don't have time to dig it up right now.

Yes, they fell out for a while in the nineties over Liza's resumed drinking and drug use. It's discussed pretty thoroughly in Lorna's book. They reconciled when Liza had encephalitis, then became estranged again when Liza married Gest. As far as I know, they're currently on fairly good terms again.
