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, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!, 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. 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 relationships. She also shares the private heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages and her 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 and details the activism and friendships that shaped her. Friends and influences include the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Halston, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson, and Princess Diana. Liza defied conventions fearlessly, embracing sexual fluidity and battling bigotry at a time of limited public understanding.

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.
