Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!

De: Liza Minnelli

Narrado por: Liza Minnelli

Global icon Liza Minnelli shares her inspiring story: stepping out from the long shadow of a mega-star mother and legendary film director father, fighting a lifetime battle with addiction, and emerging from it all to become a once-in-a-lifetime artist.

Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! is the autobiography of EGOT icon Liza Minnelli. This fascinating, untold story reveals the intimate truth of the only child born to Hollywood legends Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland. For the first time, here is Liza up close: Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and heartbreaking.

Liza decided at the age of 16 that “sympathy is my mother’s business. I give people joy.” That veil of joy, however, masks a lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder ("SUD," which Liza inherited from her mother's branch of her family), boundless love to give and an equal need to receive it, broken marriages, multiple miscarriages, and hospitalizations—the highs and lows of unparalleled artistic success and lifelong friendships, as well as chronic anxiety and the threat of financial ruin.

Despite every challenge, Liza’s is a life wrapped in laughter and her tremendous capacity to give and receive love. Today at nearly 80, she opens her heart, mind and memories, sharing secrets we never knew. Liza’s book celebrates supreme artistry and, more importantly, her human rights activism.

“It’s time to tell the truth," Liza says, “and help people heal, as I have, one day at a time.”

Good read, horrible listen

Loving the book and her candor. Her reading is awful. What’s with dropping every “g” from ing.

Amazing!

On our road of life we all experience flat tires, however Liza fixed herself and with the help of some true friends she has kept on going! Very thankful she has shared with us what true strength can achieve!
Way to go Liza Minnelli!

Outstanding!

What a life! In her own words. I enjoyed listening to her tell her own story. She is right, no one else could do it.

Best audio book ever!

Dear Liza,
Thank you so much for reading your book to us. I like to believe that I've known you forever, so this felt like a long, loving, amazing phone call.
You are very brave and your energy is contagious!! I wish I was there to pick you up from the sidewalk in return for you picking me up all these years with your music and acting and smile and the cute quirk of your speech. You've seem like the forgiving daughter, the cool sister, the constant friend, and the triumphant professional I'm not; so you for me are not only brave, but also the sweetest and brightests example of a wonderful and fullfilled life.
I am so happy and proud to be your fan!!
Thank you Michael for taking care of Liza!! And thank you for pushing her over a decade to write this book!!
This audiobook has been a great experience!! Five stars and five more!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

P.S. FU Gaga.

she's lived an amazing life, iffy narration

The narration was horrible. I've heard it's AI- sounds like she should sound at times, but it's janky and so annoying that every "g"is dropped from words ending in "ing". Overall a very interesting life and story, I just wish I would've read the physical book instead.
