It really wouldn't break my heart to never hear her sing NYNY again, but I know a lot of people expect her to do it. She's capable of so much more than being hemmed in by casual fan expectations allow. I wish she would bury a lot of the stuff that's "expected."
Ñot one mention of Aznavour
He has been called the French Sinatra. Going strong @89 (next week).Give him some mention. His songs are the stuff of legend
Liza on her own is magical but with Aznavour's songs she's even more perfect. I think Quiet Love is one of her most stunning performances.

So hoping this comes true !!!! "Le Figaro" is usually a reliable source of informations in France !
Sounds like a one-woman auto-bio show but with an original score which makes it way more interesting to me. And the songs would probably cater to her range and stamina now as opposed to a parade of belting greatest hits.
I just don't want her to go out like Mama. Diminished capacity, on her last legs, put on the road just to make someone a buck when she should be resting. If she's healthy, keep truckin!
Liza is doing GREAT. People who hate on her don't know her but I can tell you she's really in a great place and this is PERFECT for her!

Wow! I would pay full-price to see this...gotta start saving now. Her voice surely isn't what it used to be, but the presence she commands onstage is nothing short of remarkable. How exciting to see her in a show with songs tailored to her voice as it is now!

She's nothing like Mama in that regard. She's had her own production company for her solo shows for most of her career. She works when she wants to, she doesn't need to.
Aznavours songs will not be belt em out but story songs . They are songs that will work well for her.
YEEEEEEES! SAY YEEEEEESSS!
I hope this happens!
