I agree. But, like everyone else in show business, Bette Midler is not always successful. I remember attending a benefit concert honoring Merman after she died. There were two performers who stood out, in different ways. Elaine Stritch captured Merman's essence, in stories and songs. Midler was Bette Midler doing bits of her current tour.
Still, I did like Bette Midler's arena shows.
And I am sure I will like her in Dolly when I see the musical just before Christmas. |
