Old chums, it’s time for us to put down the knitting, the book and the broom and make our way to the Kit Kat Club. For our dear Liza Minnelli is turning 80 years old!
On March 11th, we will all say willkommen, bienvenue, welcome to Bob Fosse’s 1972 masterpiece Cabaret in celebration of the Oscar-winning performance at its heart: Minnelli as Sally Bowles. And because this will go down on the eve of Minnelli’s birthday, we will also be graced with a special tribute to her from the wonder that is @thedianasauss. That’s not all: we invite all in attendance to come dressed inspired by Liza, with great prizes handed out to those whose interpretations are deemed the most thoughtful!
This screening will kick off a trilogy of birthday parties for three great queer icons all born within a few months of each other in 1946: Liza, John Waters (who we’re celebrating April 22nd with Female Trouble) and Cher (who we’re celebrating May 20th with Come Back to the Five & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean). And we’ve asked the extraordinarily talented portrait artist Keight MacLean to design the posters for all three. This is the (absolutely stunning) first, which will be available in print for purchase at the screening: March 11th at 7:30pm at the Paradise.
