Minnelli will subsequently visit Sheffield City Hall on 22 September and the Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow on 24 September.

The show will see Minnelli interviewed for 90 minutes on stage about her life and career, encompassing her Hollywood childhood as the daughter of Judy Garland through her own stage and screen successes.

It will culminate in a selection of songs accompanied by Minnelli's long-time musical director Billy Stritch, plus a Q&A with the audience.

Minnelli has a long association with the Palladium stretching back to 1964 when she joined her mother in concert. She performed solo concerts at the venue in 1973, 1978 and 1986.

She said: "I'm always so excited to return to Britain, which I've considered to be a second home for many years. I have so many friends there and I look forward to being back again for these special intimate evenings."

An Intimate Evening with Liza Minnelli is presented by Rocco Buonvino, who was behind similar events featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.
