Liza Minnelli proves show must goes on \u2013 takes 200 mile Uber ride to make it to gig<\/b><\/p>\n

Liza Minnelli learned very early on from her mother, Judy Garland, that the show must go on.<\/p>\n

She proved that once again over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Minnelli endured an impromptu overnight 200 mile Uber ride to Wilmington, North Carolina, in order to make a show after her flight from Charlotte was turned back due to bad weather.<\/p>\n

Minnelli, 69, had already spent much of the day flying from Los Angeles to North Carolina and was on the connecting flight from Charlotte when the pilot turned the plane around due to extreme turbulence, according to the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Minnelli and her musical collaborator, Cortés Alexander, were driven by Ahmed El-Awady, a former Egyptian Olympic handball player  who competed at the 1992 and ’96 games.<\/p>\n

The ride cost $200 and took four hours.<\/p>\n

‘He drove all night and finally delivered Liza to her hotel at 6:30 a.m,’ her rep said.<\/p>\n

In the end, Minnelli didn’t disappoint her audience of 1,500 at Cape Fear Community College’s new Humanities & Fine Arts Center where she performed with the North Carolina Symphony.<\/p>\n

The showbiz legend was paid $125,000 for the appearance, according to StarTribuneOnline<\/a>.<\/p>\n
