Her music
Take a minute to experience the magic of Maria’s voice in a recent studio recording.
About Maria
Maria trained as a singer and dancer at the American Musical Academy in London.
She later graduated in Musical theatre with a BA Hons. Her striking resemblance to Liza Minnelli, both in appearance and voice have earned her numerous accolades amongst her peers and colleagues.
Maria aspires to establish herself as a leading tribute artist, with Las Vegas as her ultimate goal. The quality of her singing and her voice's similarity to that of Liza Minnelli, puts her in a class of her own when it comes to replicating the type of music Liza Minnelli is famous for.
Combine this with Maria's trained acting abilities, her confidence on the stage and a willingness to mingle and chat with the audience ‘Liza style’, the reality of her polished performance starts to set in.
Maria recently sang on a London stage accompanied by Liza's chosen pianist, where she performed 'Cabaret' to a selected guest list - a high spot in her career.
Maria’s songs
Liza’s biggest hits
Liza Minnelli’s career spans decades of success across multiple fields, including music, theatre, and film. Maria focuses on the highlights of her glittering career, singing her classic numbers such as 'Cabaret', 'Theme from New York, New York', 'All that Jazz', 'Maybe This Time', and 'Liza with a Z', which are among her most iconic and widely celebrated performances.
Maria’s performance also covers Liza’s other notable hits such as 'Losing my mind' she produced with the Pet Shop Boys, 'Ring them bells', 'The singer', and 'Bye bye Blackbird'.
Inspired by Judy Garland
A few songs are dedicated to Liza's mother, Judy Garland, who herself had a number of classic hits throughout her career like 'Over the rainbow', from 'The Wizard of Oz', which became her signature tune and won an Academy Award, 'The man that got away', in 'A Star is born' and 'You Made Me Love You', a heartfelt tribute that helped launch her career.
Other artists
A final twist of her show brings into focus other artists Liza has been involved with such as Barbara Streisand, Lorna Luft, and Barry Manilow, with Maria singing a few songs playing close to her heart.
