I actually saw this show on opening night. The audience was filled with celebs (Kander and Ebb, Halston, Tony Walton, Martin Scorcese--even Betty White and Alan Ludden, who sat next to me!). It was an amazing crowd, I must say. The producers couldn't come up with a name that fit the show (which wasn't that bad, really) but a great deal of confusion was created when they decided upon "In Person." The tickets were printed LIZA MINNELLI in "In Person," so naturally everybody thought it was a concert rather than a book musical. Things didn't get any better when they changed the name to "The Act" a few days before opening. Needless to say, Liza was wonderful; she was in great voice and wore the Halston costumes really well. Tony Walton's sets were just okay, not up to his usual 'terrific.' The Arthur in the Afternoon number was a real showstopper; Liza dancing with a really hot Asian man wearing nothing but pants with white suspenders which Liza really worked! The Money Tree number was another really great number. I have enjoyed the LP for years---a really great memory of a wonderful theatrical experience---and now will enjoy the CD. I hope you do as well.

I've loved this recording forever! I wore out my LP years ago and never replaced in on CD, Thank You iTunes!!

I have never ever heard of this show or this recording but I am delighted to have found it on itunes. Anything with Liza Minelli must be worth listening to a least a few times. My favorite so far is the reprise of Little do they know.

The show was a colossal trainwreck but at least the wonderful Kander & Ebb score was preserved. Of course "City Lights" and "My Own Space" were the stand out hits but "The Money Tree" is an under-appreciated showstopper and "Bobo's" shows is the quintessential crazy Liza tune. Gotta love this CD!
