Wednesday night in Las Vegas , New York 's favorite brassy diva, Bette Midler , launched her newest extravaganza, "The Showgirl Must Go On," with boas, bawdiness and one loco burro, which she rode in on (www.nydailynews.com....of_la.html)

Whe she takes longer breaks, the stage time will be split between Elton John and newly signed Cher, who is readying her first show for Caesars Palace, starting May 6 (www.lasvegaslogue.com....alace.html)
Bette Midler is always shifting - it is one of the complexities of her personality. Even more than most performers, she has distinct personas: there is the onstage Bette (bawdy, outspoken, brash) and there is the offstage Bette (proper, serious, second-guessing). Her work mode is a hybrid: concentrated and brisk, with the occasional aside (topics.nytimes.com....te_midler/)
With its gaudy costuming, bawdy burlesquerie and Bette Midler 's booming balladeering, this is a show that parades a flamboyant star in civility-defying high style, portraying a heightened sense of life's miseries and joys and celebrating nothing if not fabulousness, a quality maybe not so easy to define but very easy to understand (topics.nytimes.com....te_midler/)

Midler closed with "Wind Beneath My Wings." She and the song sounded better than ever. There was no encore on Wednesday, but like the tornado that blew into Caesars at the start of the show, she was gone with the wind . But don't worry, "The Showgirl Must Go On" goes on for two years.

As for Bette's show, I have seen video of previous ones and she is a bit bawdy, but not gross. Based upon that I don't think she'll do anything that a teenaged kid hasn't already seen in school. I don't know if younger kids would get anything out of it. (las-vegas-hotels.tripadvisor.com....evada.html)
Bette Midler counts singing as only one of her talents; at times, since 1972, when she first came to national recognition, it has seemed to be the least of her talents. Still, she has managed to score a number of major hits in a roller-coaster career as a recording artist. Born in Paterson, NJ, and raised in Hawaii , Midler early on showed an interest in singing and acting, and by the '60s she had moved to New York and gotten a role in the long-running Broadway hit Fiddler on the Roof. Midler developed a nightclub act that included comedy and singing of a variety of kinds of material, including show tunes, pop hits, and even a takeoff on the Andrews Sisters , and appeared with increasing frequency in New York with her accompanist, Barry Manilow. She was signed to Atlantic Records and released The Divine Miss M (1972), which went gold and included a Top Ten single cover of the Andrews Sisters ' "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." Bette Midler (1973) was similarly successful. Midler's album sales fell off during the rest of the '70s, though her records always reached the Top 100 in the album char (www.mp3.com....r/summary/)
Midler appeared in a television production of the Broadway musical Gypsy that produced a charting soundtrack album in 1993 following the release of her million-selling hits collection Experience the Divine. The gold-selling Bette of Roses (1995) was her first regular album release in five years. Her 1996 film The First Wives Club was a major box office success. In 1998, she switched to Warner Bros. Records and released Bathhouse Betty, which went gold. With film opportunities drying up, the 54-year-old singer/actress turned to television, developing a half-hour network comedy series based on her own life. Though it didn\'t last long, Bette premiered on CBS on October 11, 2000; six days later, she released a second Warner Bros. album, also called Bette. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide', 'Bette Midler counts singing as only one of her talents; at times, since 1972, when she first came to national recognition, it has seemed to be the least of her talents.

Bette Midler looks every inch a streamlined 90's version of her longtime stage alter ego, the Divine Miss M. Reflecting recently on her careers as a movie star, recording artist and stage entertainer - careers that seem to play hopscotch with one another - the 49-year-old Ms. Midler slips back and forth between two personas (topics.nytimes.com....te_midler/)
The text was authored by blogger Stephanie Finnegan, who originally posted it in a LiveJournal entry dated February 24, 2004. The piece made no mention of Bette Midler nor was it connected with the singer in any way until another person copied and pasted it into a posting on a Bette Midler discussion board the next day. Though it was still not directly attributed to her, some readers evidently came to believe Bette Midler herself had written the letter, and within a week or so it broke into general email circulation under her name (urbanlegends.about.com....midler.htm)
