West End star Sue Kelvin takes a roller-coaster ride through the Divine Bette Midler’s fabulous career in Bette Midler and Me, the next show at the The Garden Theatre at The Eagle
“When I’m on stage – it’s a party!” quipped Bette Midler. So come join the party as West End star and leading lady Sue Kelvin takes a roller-coaster ride through the Divine Bette Midler’s fabulous career.
Bette Midler and Me, which opens at The Garden Theatre at The Eagle (now with outdoor heating), 349 Kennington Lane London SE11 5QY (nearest tube/train: Vauxhall) from Tuesday 3 November, explores how Bette Midler inspired Sue to don seven-inch platform shoes, and become a musical diva herself!
All of Bette’s biggest hits are in the show, including ‘From a Distance’ ‘The Rose’, ‘Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy’, ‘I’m A Woman’, ‘Chapel of Love’, ‘The Glory of Love’, ‘I Think it’s Gonna Rain Today’, ‘Everything’s Coming Up Roses’ and ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’.
The show also features highlights from famous Midler comedy routines, and an outrageous three-minute puppet version of her cult-hit tear-jerker movie, ‘Beaches’. What could be more divine?
The arrangements for the show are by Tony Award winning musical director Sarah Travis (‘Sweeney Todd’, 2006). She has musical directed West End and regional productions including: ‘Mack and Mabel’, ‘The Gondoliers’, ‘Sunset Boulevard’ and ‘Legally Blonde’, as well as Craig Revel Horwood’s productions of ‘Chess’, ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ and ‘Sister Act’ .
Bette Midler and Me is at The Garden Theatre at The Eagle from 3rd November 2020.
