Bette Midler Wows at LA’s Staples Center

At 69 she’s still got it!

Bette Midler’s still got it. The critics are raving about her performance last week at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Variety wrote, “At 69 years-old, with legs like a Rockette and a voice as rich and smooth as velvet, Midler is such a charismatic wonder it’s a shame she doesn’t run for president. The legendary star has lost nothing of the bawdy wit and madcap antics — “I’m going to lift your spirits like a boob job, ” she teased the crowd — with which she started out in the late-1960’s, a ginger-haired, Hawaiian-born Jewess who cut her teeth on the great white way, where for three years she played Tzeitel in the original Broadway production of “Fiddler on the Roof, ” sweeping the stage with a broom, pining for a more glamorous life that would surely come.”

And in case you thought that this was just a one time example, Middler also blew away the crowd at the Honda Center in Anaheim Friday night.

The Orange County Register said, “At 69, the singer-actress-comedian still does it all: Songs that make you smile or laugh, songs that move your heart and soul. A quick wit and a bawdy sense of humor. Costumes that go from goofy – the bird-plumaged get-ups Midler and her three Harlettes donned midway through the night – to the glitz of the magenta sequined gown in which Midler closed her performance.”
