Liza Minnelli will appear as herself in an upcoming episode of "Smash", NBC announced Tuesday.
"Liza Minnelli is the essence of a multi-talented, singular show business sensation, particularly for her extraordinary contributions to Broadway," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement.
"So what could be more fitting than to have her legendary talent on a show that celebrates a world Liza has dazzled for decades? 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."
Minnelli will guest-star in the episode 'The Surprise Party', in which she'll sing an original duet with Christian Borle (Tom Levitt), that will air in the spring.
"Smash" returns Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 9/8c on NBC before moving to 10/9c on Feb. 12.
