Yes indeed! I was lucky enough to be there as well. It was my cast's one day off from summer stock and we drove into the city to see a show and were lucky to get tickets to The Life. There was a lot of buzz in the theatre before the performance because Liza was in the house. Sam Harris stopped the curtain call and then introduced Cy Coleman who came on stage to congratulate the cast's two Tony winners from the night before, Lillias White and Chuck Cooper. Coleman then went on to introduce Liza who congratulated the cast for performing "eight shows a day" (which made me chuckle) and they gave her an oversized THE LIFE t-shirt which she then put on over her sequins. Cy Coleman sat at the piano, and Liza and Sam Harris sang "Use What You Got" together. After that, she definitely sang "You Made Me Love You" and prefaced it by saying "when I told my mother I wanted to go into this business, she made me promise to never sing any of her songs. Tonight, I'm going to break that promise." It was such an emotional performance and truly an added thrill on top of what was already an incredible night.
Don't know if it is still up, but Sam Harris had this content posted on his YouTube channel. Probably worth a search! |
