You’ll have to hurry if you want to catch this wonderful production at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood, as it only runs for two more days – Saturday night, February 19, at 8:00 PM, and Sunday afternoon, February 20, at 3:00 PM. We attended the opening night tonight of the show “Liza and Judy: Together Again” starring Suzanne Goulet as Liza Minnelli and Denise Rose as Judy Garland, and they were belting out the beloved songs that this mother and daughter, both such famous stars, are so well-known for. Memories flowed freely through the audience who were captivated by the performers. Especially moving were the renditions of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “New York, New York” which was followed by thunderous applause. This was a wonderful way to spend two hours of the evening and we highly recommend this show to Minnelli and Garland fans.

Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli, the most famous mother and daughter entertainers the world of show business has ever seen, performed only just a few times “Together”.

In 1963, Judy introduced to the world her daughter, Liza, on the Judy Garland TV show and in 1964 they had a concert at the Palladium in London. Yes, it’s the highly acclaimed Judy who gave her teenage daughter  her first taste of show business. The world, unfortunately, never saw them performed “Together Again” as Judy passed away before Liza was successfully recognized as her mother’s equal.

“Liza & Judy: Together Again” is a tribute show with a concept that fulfills many people’s desire, which is to see the experienced Liza at her peak, back together with her proud mother. Denise and Suzanne have the looks, the voices and the dancing ability to make this fantasy come true. They also have the great energy that the originals always brought on stage and most importantly, they transmit the love they had for each other.

“Judy” and “Liza” sing lots of duets, dance to old style choreography  and have moving dialogues. The “Cabaret Dancers” join our stars with a high level of energy and together they recreate classic production numbers like Get Happy, Swanee, Bye Bye Blackbird, City Lights, etc. At the end of the show, it is revealed  that it was a reverie … a day dream in which “Liza” let’s her mother know, with the help of video clips, that “It was a good time … it was the BEST time”
