The Showgirl Must Go On
will hit the stage five nights a week at 7:30 p.m. and will be dark on Mondays and Thursdays
Known for her incomparable humor, over-the-top imagination and captivating charisma, the Divine Miss M. has appropriately titled her new Las Vegas production Bette Midler The Showgirl Must Go On. The show, which is created exclusively for The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, will make its highly anticipated debut on February 20, 2008.
With plenty of girls and gags, The Showgirl Must Go On will feature some of Midler's favorite colorful characters, from Delores Delago - the wheelchair-bound mermaid - to the oldest living showgirl in Las Vegas, old, old, old Soph. Midler and her entourage of talented performers, comprised of the staggering Harlettes (Jordan Ballard, Kyra Dacosta and Kamilah Martin), a 13 piece band- which includes a six piece horn section from the Las Vegas band "The Fat City Horns" - and 20 female dancers, are rehearsing in New York and Los Angeles before heading to Las Vegas to continue rehearsals in January 2008.
"I'm really looking forward to the show. I've been hoarding feathers and fans and sequins and rhinestones for the last 50 years and, hey, I'm ready to throw 'em all on stage," said Bette.
Due to high demand, five shows have been added to her first run at The Colosseum. These additional performances, scheduled for March 11, 12, 14, 15 and 16, will go on sale Sunday, December 9. Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-877-7BETTEM (723-8836) or online at www.ticketmaster.com, keyword "Bette Midler". Tickets may also be purchased in person at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace Box Office, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Ticket prices are $95, $140, $175, and $250.
