Too much of a good thing is wonderful! My Life with Liberace is based on Scott Thorson’s autobiographical novel about his secret relationship with the world-famous pianist Liberace. Long before Elvis, Elton John, Madonna and Lady Gaga, there was Liberace: a virtuoso pianist, outrageous entertainer, and bombastic stage artist and TV star. His extravagant style and spectacular stage performances made him a world-renowned performer with a loyal fan base throughout his 40-year career. Liberace lived a debauched lifestyle and embraced excess, both on and off the stage. In the summer of 1977, the handsome and much younger Scott Thorson walked into his dressing room and, notwithstanding the dissimilarities and age differences, it was the beginning of a secret love affair that lasted five years.
