Liza Minnelli performed in Tony Hale's car

If you live in New York City, experiencing live music while you commute on the subway is pretty standard. But Arrested Development actor Tony Hale received a more star-studded performance-on-the-go when Liza Minnelli broke out into song in his car.

“She invited my wife and I out to lunch, and I was blown away,” Hale explains in the video. “We picked her up in my crappy car, and she insisted on sitting in the back seat.”

When Hale and Minnelli — who was playing Hale’s girlfriend on the former Fox series at the time — got to talking about her music, the daughter of Judy Garland decided to give Buster Bluth and his wife an impromptu show.

“She breaks out with ‘Liza With a Z’ in the back seat of my car,” he continues. “And the best part is, she’s done it so many times that she can hear the orchestration, so she’d go, ‘Liza with a Z. Ba da, ba da, bam!'”
