Between 1991 and 1996, Liza Minnelli embarked on continuous tours, with her notable shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The production, titled "Liza Stepping Out at Radio City," took place between April 23 and May 12, 1991, followed by a worldwide tour and a second return to the iconic cinema and concert venue from January 24 to February 2, 1992. In Act 2, she is joined on stage by 12 female singers and dancers who rise from the audience. Minnelli and her "devilish divas" perform a medley of "masculine" songs, paying tribute to Bob Fosse and performing "Theme from New York, New York" by Kander and Ebb. recognized by Billboard magazine as the highest-grossing live stage/engagement of the year in the United States, surpassing even the Rolling Stones. == Release and promotion ==

With the excellent response, Columbia Records decided to record some of Minnelli's performances to release as her sixth live album. The accompanying television special was nominated for a total of six Emmy Awards, including Minnelli's impressive individual performance. The promotion of the project included an event at the Sam Goody store in Rockefeller Plaza, broadcast live by TeleConcerts from the store's event to the Times Square jumbotron screens. ==Critical reception==

William Ruhlmann of AllMusic wrote that after releasing four previous live albums, it might seem to the audience that the artist didn't need another release of this kind. However, he states that it is in her live performances that the artist shines, and in Radio City Music Hall, there is more than enough new material to justify acquiring another live album by Liza Minnelli. He highlighted the ballad "Sorry I Asked". People magazine criticized the release, stating that the singer's voice was worn out, and the repertoire was not innovative. They claimed that the singer "seems more concerned with how far her voice can go than how much it can convey." The best tracks were noted as "Sorry I Asked" ("bitter and melancholic") and "Stepping Out" ("infectious and rhythmic"). Linda Sanders of Entertainment Weekly gave it an "A" rating. She considered the show polished to the last detail and "some of the most elegant musical arrangements ever recorded." Regarding Minnelli, she noted that the singer "stands out as a powerful woman" who combines "the intimacy of a nightclub with the splendor of Las Vegas." ==Commercial performance==

Commercially, the album failed to chart on the Billboard 200. However, the video album (VHS/LD) reached number 23 on the Billboard Top Video Sales chart on January 9, 1993. The RIAA certified it as a gold record in the United States, with sales exceeding 50,000 copies in the country. ==Track listing==
