"Liza Minnelli is set to make a guest appearance as herself on an upcoming episode of NBC&amp;#039;s Smash. The 66-year-old will appear on the musical drama and sing an original song with star Christian Borle, NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt announced today. The song will be written by the show&amp;#039;s composing duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Greenblatt said: &amp;quot;Liza Minnelli is the essence of a multi-talented, singular show business sensation, particularly for her extraordinary contributions to Broadway. So what could be more fitting than to have her legendary talent on a show that celebrates a world Liza has dazzled for decades?  &amp;quot;I had the pleasure of working with Liza when we restored her landmark television special Liza With a Z at Showtime, and to see her artistry up close and personal is a thing to behold.&amp;quot; Smash is a musical drama that celebrates the Broadway theatre, following a selection of misfits who are all united by their desire to become a Broadway star.
