SONGBOOK STORIES WITH DEBORAH HUTTON
SUNDAYS AT 3.30PM FROM JULY 1 ON BIO

FOXTEL's Bio channel is making Sunday afternoons something to sing about, launching a

double feature of celebrated movie musicals and star biographies this weekend with Cabaret

followed by an intimate portrait of Liza Minnelli.

Bio's Deborah Hutton presents this celebration of musicals followed by insights into the talents,

triumphs and tragedies of the fascinating artists that made them sing.

Often these box office hit musicals were credited with catapulting actors to superstardom, such

as Minnelli's breakout performance in Cabaret, which won her an Academy Award for Best

Actress and opportunity to prove herself beyond the shadow of her mother Judy Garland, who

was just 16 when she made The Wizard of Oz.

Then there's Debbie Reynolds, who comments in her biography that two of the hardest things

she has ever done in her life were childbirth and Singin' In The Rain.
