Opening night of Liza's new one-woman show appropriately star-studded, bizarre

Last night the unsinkable Liza Minnelli opened her new show in New York City, and from the looks of the photo coverage the event was every bit as cuckoobananas as we'd expect.

First, the photo service that we use has the title of the show — Liza's at the Palace — listed as "Liza's at the Palace?!", suggesting a sort of abject amazement at the fact they'd let the old bird in the joint in the first place.

But that's just the beginning: even the pics of the celebrity arrivals are unusually bizarre. Check out more pics of stars talking on their phones, doing calf-stretches, and making stink-faces after the jump!

Liza closed with a Secret Service kick-line

Sandra Bernhard: "Oooh that smell! Can you smell that smell?"
 

James Lipton: "I'm a celebrity interviewer ... get me out of here!"

Married life is treating gay actor Alan Cumming very well. Snazzy!
 

I refused to believe that purple is the new black until Cheyenne Jackson wore it.

Mario Cantone: "Turn your head and cough!"

Look, ma - no question mark!
