Liza Feb 3 Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble — Page 2

My friend at B&N says 9 AM, but showing up at 8 AM to buy your CD will ensure you get a wristband.

My friend at B&N says she'll sing three songs before she starts signing and they're expecting a zoo.

I love that you call the wristband a "bracelet"...as if it had diamonds! ;-}

When Charles Strouse was at the Lincoln Center Barnes and Noble for the Life After Tomorrow DVD signing, I purchased the DVD but asked him if he would sign my Bye Bye Birdie LP and Golden Boy souvenir program instead. He was happy to oblige my request. They may be stricter for Liza, but it never hurts to ask.

I'm sure there are still wristbands available if you go before noonish. I was #56 and there were definitely not 100 people behind me when I left.
Also, from what I hear (not 100% sure) the first 160 or whatever who get numbered wristabands will be in the room for the performance.
They are giving out additional wristbands for the signing. They just can't fit more than the 160 in the room.
So, it's not a complete loss to try and go later even if you weren't there this morning. Or perhaps call the store and ask if the info I'm telling you is correct.

The B&N window display is adorable :)

I love that they're now officially called "bracelets."

KISS HER!

Yeah, Liza certainly brings it. Whatever IT is.
She sang 4 songs. She was only scheduled to do 3, but then she threw in "What Makes a Man a Man?" My eyes got a little misty with that one.
They had pinkish/neon lights shining on her like it was a cabaret act. It was really very fun.

What was going on with that lady in the back of the room? Was she sick or was she drunk? I'm pretty sure I smelled alcohol as she was falling down and being escorted out by the B&N staff.

Wish I could have been there. Did Liza talk to people as she was signing? Did anyone have any interesting experiences there or conversations with Liza?

I was there yesterday and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Since I was one of the first people on line in the morning, we had prime front center seats for the event (only the VIPs had seats in front of us) and wow was it amazing. Billy Stritch introduced Liza and she sang four songs: "And The World Goes Round," "I Would Never Leave You," "I Love A Violin," and "What Makes A Man A Man." While she didn't sound as perfect as she did at the Palace Theater, she sounded pretty damn good for having a month off.

She looked stunning in her black pants and sparkly black top, and she also looked as if she was having the time of her life up there. It was thrilling to see her in such a tiny venue (and I'm sure I never will again). Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After the performance, she did a brief interview with NY1, and then started signing CDs for the fans. When it was my turn, I told her that I had seen the show 11 times (which she reacted positively to) and I thanked her profusely for doing the show and for making me, as well as countless others, so happy for the five weeks she was back on Broadway. She was so nice and it was truly thrilling to have met her.

I also have to commend Barnes & Noble. I have been to many many CD signings there are this was the most organized I have ever seen. There was tons of security and everything was orderly and well thought out. I am honored to have participated in this wonderful event.

She signed 400 CDs.



Barnes and Noble designed a set for Liza:



They even had someone design and cater a green room for her:
