Liza with a " T"

Tonya Koenderman is back in town with her one woman hit show, "Liza with a "T". It is a tribute to the great Liza Minnelli, and has been performed to sell out houses and critical acclaim throughout South Africa.

The show tells the story of Liza's life - her close relationship with her father, her struggle to conquer drug and alcohol abuse, her many relationships, and of the influence her mother Judy Garland had over her. But mainly the show pays tribute to the songs Liza made famous:  "Cabaret", "Maybe this Time", "New York, New York", “All That Jazz” and many more.

Hours of careful study of Liza Minnelli's moves and music resulted in a show that has brought great success for Tonya. Her impersonation has been so impressive that she was invited to star in the look-alike, sound-alike show, "Stars in Your Eyes" in 1996.  This lead to her being the only local artist to perform in the international show, "Beyond Belief" which ran for 18 months at the Sun City Extravaganza.

What the critics said:

“So powerfully pleasing is this petite performer’s voice, so sparkling her personality, so easy her rapport with the audience.” Billy Suter, Mercury

“…a powerful voice, loads of charisma, and a personality that makes Oprah look retiring” Barbara Hollands, Daily Dispatch.
