Okay so I can't fucking wait. Cher and Bette Midler BOTH will be on the Strip performing soon. Midler just began her show this past Friday, titled The Showgirl Must Go On. Cher's show starts May 6th -- and it's ALSO at Caeser's Palace. One stop shopping! Me and my friend Andre have made a pact: Las Vegas or bust for Fall Break '08! Yea!
I particularly enjoyed this quote from the Bay Area Reporter's coverage over Midler's opening:
Midler acknowledges that Showgirl is "basically the show I've been doing for the last 35 years," and she is correct. It is now on steroids, with Midler, and the latest incarnation of her three singing "Harlettes," backed up by 18 showgirls and a 13-piece band. Choreography is provided by Toni Basil of "Oh, Mickey" fame. The show opens with a sensational Spielbergian film clip involving a billboard for Midler's show, a vulture, a burro, and a tornado that moves across the Nevada desert before striking the Las Vegas strip. Enter the diva, atop a stack of Vuitton luggage with the Harlettes serenading her with "Big Noise from Winnetka." Midler informs the crowd she has arrived courtesy of "hormones and mood elevators," and they should expect "glitz, hits, and tits." She then proceeds to deliver on her promise.
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's a gay fantasy explosion.
