Liberace – A Christmas TV Special

Liberace (1919-1987) was one of America’s greatest piano, stage and TV entertainers in the 50’s and 60’s. Known for his extravagant costumes, personal charm and self-deprecating wit, his public image became linked with one ever-present stage prop; a silver candelabrum perched on his piano.

This DVD released to coincide with the 20^th anniversary year of his death, includes two episodes of his immensely popular network television programmes The Liberace Show, featuring a Christmas Special and also a Mothers Day Show.

So sit back, turn down the lights and enjoy a wonderful evening with the incomparable Liberace!
