Bette Midler Show

Bette Midler Show in the colosseum at Caesar's Palace is a high energy show which includes 14 live musicians on stage, 20 female dancers and 3 backup singers who dance and cavort with the Divine Miss M throughout the show. With a 40 year career performing on Broadway, starring in films, making TV appearances and releasing her numerous song albums, Bette Midler has found a new home on the Strip in Las Vegas through 2010.

Photo of Bette Midler as her famous character, Delores Delago multiplied 20 times by her cast of wheelchair mermaids. Bette is starring at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas in her new show, The Showgirl Must Go On. Get ready for a night of laughs, songs, dances and beautiful sets.

Her show called The Showgirl Must Go On is lively, creative and utilizes all of Miss M's divine talents. She's a top-notch entertainer, a comedian who knows how to keep her audience laughing. Bette even uses her well-known character, Delores Delago, the mermaid in a wheelchair. But she multiplies her 20 times. You will see 20 dancers roll out in their own wheelchairs dressed as mermaids zigzagging around the stage in dance formations, wagging their tailfins then slithering down on the floor.

In the Bette Midler Show you'll also meet Soph, the oldest showgirl in the world. You see Miss M likes to take an idea to the max. Bette dressed as a showgirl really looks pretty good. She stands on top of a staircase with a pink feathered headdress that spans half the width of the stage.

Bette excels at joke telling in a fast repartee style. She also pays tribute to Dean, Frank, Sammie and Elvis in a medley of songs. Using the largest state-of-the-art screen she projects Elvis as King who has gone to heaven, then commences to talk and sing with his huge image on the LED screen on stage.

With a 40 year career as comedian, singer, entertainer and actress, Bette knows how to keep her audience laughing and entertained. She's accompanied on stage by 14 musicians, 20 showgirls and 3 backup singers.

She's aligned vintage Bette on the big screen with Vegas Bette in her famous song and dance number, Bugle Boy and Company B. At one point the spotlight zeroes in on her sitting on the edge of the stage where she picks up her ukulele and sings a short solo song. Of course the show would not be complete without her most famous hit, Wind Beneath my Wings, the theme from her 1990 movie, Beaches. It's her final number and leaves the audience in a nostalgic mood.

Because Miss M is in her 60's, she cracks a lot of jokes about large the stage is and having to walk across it to another zip code. The stage really is big, and I think Bette makes better use of it than Celine did.

At one point in the Bette Midler Show Bette just falls down on stage, lays on her back and takes a choreographed break, making jokes about the cost of the production and how much money she's making. Early on she even makes a plug for her merchandise in her store next to the theater. As a comedian Bette is not afraid to laugh at herself. Refreshing and entertaining, you'll enjoy the Bette Midler Show.
