PositiveThe New YorkerIt seemed likely that in her memoir, Minnelli would just keep singing her hits. However, the first pages of Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! instantly make it clear that she has something new to say ... Arranging her accomplishments on a single plane of vision is almost impossible, but what emerges in the attempt is a richly ouroboric body of work ... Unfortunately, the bulk of the memoir is about addiction. Minnelli discusses her substance use more candidly than she ever has before ... The title page of the memoir lists three co-authors, including the entertainer Michael Feinstein, and they’ve clearly done heavy spackling to fill out Minnelli’s recollections ... We want to know about Liza Minnelli’s life, but we were there for it. We got to see the best part.
