What happens when the world thinks it already knows your story—and you decide to take it back?
In Kids, Wait Till You Hear This, Liza Minnelli pulls back the curtain with surprising candor, tracing her life from a childhood inside Hollywood royalty (Judy Garland and Vincente Minnelli) to a career built on grit, reinvention, and unstoppable talent. Through recorded conversations with her longtime friend Michael Feinstein, Liza shares the triumphs you’d expect—Tony at 19, EGOT status, Cabaret—and the chapters most people never truly understood: addiction and recovery, financial chaos, complicated love, devastating losses, and the constant fight to be seen as herself. It’s emotional, funny, and fiercely honest—a portrait of a performer who turned pain into artistry and, even now, insists on living with heart, humor, and no regrets.
