Tonya Koenderman is back in town with her one woman hit show, “Liza with a “T” – a tribute to the great Liza Minnelli. The show tells the story of Liza’s life – her close relationship with her father, her struggle to conquer drug and alcohol abuse, her many relationships, and the influence her mother Judy Garland had over her. But mainly the show pays tribute to the songs Liza made famous: “Cabaret”, “Maybe this Time”, “New York, New York”, “All That Jazz” and many more. Tickets are R160 each and the venue opens 90 minutes before the show for snacks/drinks. Details: contact Roland on 082 499 8636, e-mail [email protected] or visit events.durbantheatre.com
