Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story
“I was born, and they took a picture” says Liza Minnelli, in reference to the reality of growing up in the flashbulb-popping, gossip-saturated spotlight. After all, she is Hollywood royalty – the daughter of Oscar-winning director Vincente Minnelli and screen icon Judy Garland. Looking back at her earliest memories through her formative years, Liza finds herself hounded by tough questions and insanely high expectations from critics, the press and the public. Can she sing and dance as well as her mother? Does she have the right “look” to be a star? Can she act? "LIZA: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story" reveals what happened next, bringing into focus the dazzling, complex period of Liza’s life in the 1970s, just after the tragic death of her mother — as Liza confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a bonafide legend. Over these years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. They all help her transform from a performer with boundless raw talent and famous parents to a mature, beautifully-polished superstar of stage and screen. Liza takes the world by storm in films ("Cabaret", "New York, New York", "Arthur"), television specials ("Liza with a Z"), concerts (Carnegie Hall, Radio City), and Broadway shows ("The Act", "Chicago", "Liza’s at the Palace"). Her influence extends into fashion, nightlife, art and culture. Along the way, Liza earns an Oscar, an Emmy, four Tonys, a Grammy – and the undeniable status of living legend.

The Show Must Go On
In the wake of the global pandemic, The Show Must Go On chronicles the race against time to save live theater and an army of theater-makers determined to win that race. In March of 2020 and for the first time in history, the performing arts were decimated worldwide when theater shut down indefinitely in every country except one: South Korea. From the frontlines in Seoul, this film follows two theatrical productions, the World Tour of The Phantom of The Opera and the South Korean Tour of Cats, that pushed ahead safely against all odds during the pandemic and helped show the way forward. And a continent away in the UK, the film simultaneously follows composer and empresario Andrew Lloyd Webber as he uses the example set by his Korean colleagues to envision a new future for theater on Broadway and the West End. The Show Must Go On chronicles the survival of the performing arts and the worldwide resuscitation of an artform with the fate of a global industry at stake. But more importantly, the film tells a human story, one of the resilience of storytellers and their determination to come together to heal, create, and inspire.
