PORTLAND — Portland Ovations this morning said that it has canceled its Liza Minnelli in concert at Merrill Auditorium. The concert, originally scheduled for Sept. 29, had been postponed, and Portland Ovations hoped to reschedule.
But that won’t happen.
“Portland Ovations has been in communication with Ms. Minnelli’s representatives since her cancellation on Sept. 29th, trying to secure a new concert date in early November. Unfortunately, Ovations has just been informed that Ms. Minnelli is now cancelling all appearances for a least another month due to bronchial pneumonia. An official statement from her publicist states Liza’s physician has ordered her to cancel her next seven scheduled concerts on her tour,” Portland Ovations said in a press release.
Ticket holders may exchange their tickets for another Portland Ovations performance in the current season; turn in tickets for a tax-deductible donation to Portland Ovations; or obtain a refund through PortTix by calling 842.0800 or visiting the box office at Merrill Auditorium.
