Liza's Back! (Is Broken)
They say the neon lights are bright…
There is no doubt about it. Liza Minnelli is a true Broadway legend. However, her appearances on the musical stage have been few and far between, and she’s only ever sung in a couple of true movie musicals…
So what would happen if Liza decided to perform all the great Broadway roles she never got to play, in one special night?
Liza’s Back! (Is Broken) explores the parts that Minnelli should have done over the last forty years - those great leading lady roles from Mame to Grizabella to Norma Desmond and all others in between. Ever wanted to see Liza tackle Wicked? Then this is the show for you!
Much-loved diva, and three-time Helpmann nominee Trevor Ashley (Les Miserables, Diamonds Are For Trevor, Fat Swan) premieres a brand new show exclusively at Arts Centre Melbourne, after hit seasons of Liza (on an E) across Australia, Europe and on London's West End.
Direct from rehab, and live with seven-piece band, don't miss Liza singing Broadway's greatest hits, including I Have Confidence, Memory, Send in the Clowns, Le Jazz Hot plus her own classics Maybe This Time, Cabaret and New York, New York!
It'll be tcherrific!!

Trevor was amazing, absolutely in awe of his high energy and great voice. Excellent show
Fantastic! Would definitely go again!
Trevor Ashley channelled and sang like Liza. Loved 'Liza's' interpretations of Broadway hits.
WOW! Magnificent and energetic performance from Trevor, backed up by a brilliant 7 piece live band that sounded more like a 21 piece orchestra. Was totally entertained beyond imagination.
