| Phantom will be 30 next month, not 29. But, what’s a year among friends. Also, I saw Bette Midler and Donna Murphy on consecutive nights. What I really saw were two different shows: the Bette Midler Show and Hello, Dolly! The energy for Donna Murphy the night I saw her was explosive. It was exactly the same for Bette Midler. It was a love fest for both from beginning to end. I happen to adore Bette Midler and have seen her live countless times, but, I must confess, I preferred Donna Murphy in the role. |
