Be sure that the show isn't canceled for the dates of your visit!

Noelene-I got tix for my boss last month.She said she was very pleased-it really is a tour de force performance for Bette and if you like her old stuff you will be pleased.
She is reworking some of the Material(with my friend Bruce Vilianch)so there should be lots of new jokes.

I was supposed to see it on 1/9-but she cancelled a few performances and mine was one of the cancelled.I was able to exchange my tix in person at the Caesars box office and actually got great seats.
BTW travelzoo.com has some great special rates for Bette-check it out.

glad to here she does a lot of her old stuff :D

I can't wait!

Bette Midler-The Showgirl Must Go On
 
How many ways can I say FABULOUS!?!? I would use all of them to describe Bette Midlers sensational huge production show in Las Vegas!

This was my first visit to Caesars Colloseum(having been to the old Caesars showroom many times)and all I can say is wow-not only is the theatre huge it is also state of the art.
The Devine Miss M. is still devine at 63.Belting out songs,dancing,and keeping moving from one side of the enormous stage to the other-I was exhausted just watching her!

The show is mostly Bette singing her hits-with some new songs and some great dance numbers performed by her 20 showgirls.There was one moment when Miss M' sat at the edge of the stage and played the Ukalale while singing The Glory of love-so touching.

Bruce Villanch has updated the material-fantastic job Bruce

The stagecraft used for the production is incredible.The digital disply is used in harmony with stage sets to fantastic effect.

I urge all of you to make a special trip to Las Vegas just to see this show-it aint gonna travel to you!

Great show, 100x better than Cher (which sucked).

The coliseum is huge, you're looking at more than 250 to get close.
