Ticket Sales for Liza Minnelli’s L.A. Book Event Lower Than Expected, Fans Want to Hear Her ‘Music’
Legendary Liza Minnelli — who once sold out concert halls in minutes — is facing a difficult new chapter as ticket sales for her upcoming book events lag behind expectations, tipsters tell Straight Shuter.
According to insiders, fewer than 30 percent of seats have moved for her high-priced L.A. appearance, where 79-year-old Minnelli — alongside her longtime piano player, Michael Feinstein — is set to discuss her memoir Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!
A source says for some fans the issue is value, explaining, “At those prices, people want to hear Liza sing. They don’t want a book reading or soft questions from a friend. They want the music — and they want real answers to what they’ve always wondered.”
By comparison, Liza’s more modestly priced New York event is selling more steadily, sources say.
A rep for Minnelli and Feinstein has dismissed the concerns as premature.
