Ramsay Ure, EdinburghRating: 9Brace yourself! Here comes 'Liza with a Z' as you've never seen her before! Firstly, I have to admit that I am a hardcore Minnelli fan, who knows her music, movies and legend inside out and joyously witnessed her 2002 comeback at the Royal Albert Hall. This fanatacism naturally added to my total relish in watching Rick Skye's low-budget, but utterly hilarious take on the Liza, her life and it's many ups and downs in one of the worst venues I've seen. Skye's show has to be commended as one which manages to deploy biting musical satire whilst simultaneously coming from a place of love for the great diva herself. There is also brilliant piano accompaniment to Skye's act, provided by a very spirited (and gorgeous) musical director, which breathed as much life into the show as Skye's bravura performance itself. This show is more than a Minnelli drag act, it's a high-octane whirlwind of an journey through the life of a living legend!
