Bette's Back... Finally

Amos Lassen wrote on 07/26/2011:

We haven’t heard or seen much about the Divine Miss M for a while with the exception of her Las Vegas show being aired on HBO last New Year’s Eve. There were stories that it would not be released on DVD and I am glad that was an unfounded rumor. HBO now gives us all a chance to see Bette in all her glory. The show was taped before a live audience at Caesar’s Palace and it is, as can be expected, a tour de force by one talented lady. She gives us some new characters as well as her classic women. The Harlettes are here and there are sixteen dancers that she calls “The Caesar Salad Girls” and she is accompanied by a thirteen piece band. Bette is still the star she always has been and she sings her classic hits or us and gives us some great Midler raunch.
Midler struts and sashays on the stage and she is clever and she is vulgar and we love her. She is a belter and she proves that over and over. Her audience has changed—we have matured from being on drugs to being on medication. I have seen her several times live in concert and I always stand in awe of her energy. The same is true here as she plies us with her nasty jokes and her classic voice.
The only negative comment is that we do not get the entire show. The hits and big numbers are here but we must appreciate that we have something. Unfortunately, you will have to wait until October to get a copy but you can be sure it will be worth the wait.
