CHITA'S AT THE PALACE...!

I saw LIZA'S AT THE PALACE tonight, and who was in the audience?

Chita!

Barbara Walters was there, too, but people didn't seem to be paying much attention to her. They were more focused on Chita.

Liza was INCREDIBLE, and her homage to Chita was all the more meaningful with Chita sitting a few rows down from the front.

People were walking right past Barbara Walters like she didn't exist and going up to Chita. It was pretty funny.

Did she announce Chita was there during the CHCAGO segment.. or right before NEW YORK NEW YORK when she usually announces guests.

Oh Gosh! Why wasn't I there? I love Chita. The woman needs to come back to Broadway.

She didn't announce Chita was there during the Chita segment.

Or at all.

She said Bloomberg was in the audience the night I was there. He got a standing ovation.

Wow. Did she announce Barbara?

No.

Liza probably asked Chita in advance if she wanted to be announced, but I'm guessing Chita wanted the focus to remain on Liza.

And if she wasn't going to announce Chita, she certainly wasn't going to mention that hag Babs.

Yeah. Good point. I guess the guests are asked if they would like to be announced.

I tried to discreetly mention to my roommate that Babs was right behind us, but all he heard was her name, so he responded with Gilda Radnor's "Hewwo, my name is Baba Wawa!" before turning around and seeing her directly behind him. She did the charitable thing and smiled instead of slapping him upside the head.

He didn't really, did he?!

Priceless.

I was in attendance and it was very touching how much praise she was heaping onto Chita. Just splendid

As for the show, it is worth seeing for "New York, New York," although the night itself didn't live up to all of the hype it had going for it in my opinion. Still glad to have gone though, despite whatever expectations I had going in.

Doris Roberts was there when I saw it.

Not-Scott, that sounds like a prime entry for the 'foot-in-mouth' thread.
