Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! cover

The long-awaited memoir from stage and screen icon, Liza Minnelli

Fasten your seatbelts, darlings, it's been one helluva ride. Liza Minnelli is one of the most iconic and enduring figures in entertainment history. Now, in her first and only memoir, Liza tells her story in her own words - and what a story it is. Born into Hollywood royalty, Liza was the daughter of legendary director Vincente Minnelli and the incomparable Judy Garland - and yet her beloved Mama's brilliance was matched by searing personal battles, making her mother both an inspiration and, at times, a source of fear. In this deeply candid memoir, Liza pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary life, from her meteoric rise to Broadway and Hollywood stardom to the whirlwind of high-profile marriages and scandalous affairs, as well as the private heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages and lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder. As told to her most beloved confidant, music icon Michael Feinstein, Liza relives the liberated nights at Studio 54, the activism and friendships that shaped her - including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Halston, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana - and the fearless way she defied conventions, embracing sexual fluidity and battling bigotry at a time of limited public understanding. But above all, as she turns 80 years old, Liza is reclaiming her truth, dispelling tabloid myths and setting the record straight with stories she's never shared before. Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and unapologetically honest, this is a defiant celebration of self-belief, survival and humanity - proving once and for all why Liza remains one of the most captivating performers the world has ever known. Wilkommen to the world of Liza.

An extraordinary memoir . . . filled with memories of her incredible life. * The Mirror *
Liza Minnelli sets the record straight about the mother she adored, the men she fell for and the demons she finally banished. * Sunday Times Magazine *
Although Minnelli calls out bad behaviour and bad people, this is a funny and generous memoir. She gives warm credit to every collaborator in her dazzling EGOT-winning stage and screen career (gaining Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards), and describes her many health issues - scoliosis, miscarriages, encephalitis, crushed discs and hip replacements - with a show-must-go-on spirit . . . [A] high-kicking hoofer of a book. * Telegraph *
