Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Cate Valcic stars in ‘Life is a Cabaret’, a spectacular new musical/dance tribute to one of entertainment’s most iconic live performers – Liza Minnelli. From her groundbreaking television special, Liza with a Z! to the legendary stages of Radio City Music Hall and the Palladium, Liza’s live performances have defined her legacy and her spectacular career. Join Cate for an intimate evening of song, dance, and stories, as she takes you through the performances that have made Liza a true icon.
Liza Minnelli is an American actress, singer, dancer, and choreographer with an illustrious career. Known for her commanding stage presence and powerful alto singing voice, Minnelli is one of the very few performers awarded a non-competitive Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. With Judy Garland as mother and entertainer Lorna Luft as sister, Liza is showbiz royalty, yet she’s an incredible performer in her own right.
This show’s namesake, “Cabaret,” is a film that propelled Liza’s career to the top and its music & message continue to be popular over 50 years later. Sally (Liza’s character) is a cabaret dancer at the Kit Kat Klub who falls in love with two men who are regulars at the club. Their lives get entwined with the Nazi Party, which is slowly growing in power. The musical numbers performed revel in the decadence that serves as a metaphor for the political decline of Germany, and the rise of the Nazi Party, which would eventually close establishments like the Kit Kat Klub and burn “un-German books” in the streets of Berlin.
