This star-studded tribute illuminates Liza Minnelli’s dazzling and complicated period in her life, beginning in the 1970s, shortly after the tragic death of her mother, Judy Garland, as she navigates a series of personal and professional challenges on her way to becoming a true legend. During these years, Lisa sought out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston and Bob Fosse. With insightful co-stars Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, along with a revealing performance by the star herself, the film illuminates the contradictions of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and her struggle, her strength and vulnerability, her unrealistic expectations and towering talent, the frictions of which fueled her extraordinary rise, her resilience and her enduring place as one of the greatest and most original artists in entertainment history.
