Louis'' numbers, ``Boys and Girls Like You and Me,'' then dished up ``I Love a Piano'' with some low, growly velvet notes the audience cheered. Liza brought back one of her mother's sweetest ``Meet Me In St. She created an intimacy that suggested 2,000 people had just happened to turn up in her living room for a few songs. Liza, seated on a tall director's chair, draped one leg over the side and half sang, half confided some songs to the audience. Nearly 200 people had reportedly walked out because of the mike problem - a problem she had been unaware of until the audience started shouting.ĭuring the second act the sound improved considerably. It is not part of the act, as she proves when she strolls in wearing a tuxedo after intermission to apologize. She strips off her eyelashes, and winds up the first act singing bare-faced and vulnerable looking. She unexpectedly grabs a towel, then wipes all the stage makeup from her face.

The stage is empty and dark when a small shadow that might be a stagehand slips out of the wings and strolls down toward the footlights.
