And the reason why she stands out amongst the other two is called "Star Quality."

Did she perform with Zero Mostel?

No it was Harry Goz.

I was 13 and my parents took me and my sister to see it. I distinctly remember being offended by one of the daughters because she kept cracking up on stage. Even at 13, I felt it was "unprofessional"!

A few years later after she started performing as the Divine Miss M, I heard her relate a story about laughing onstage during Fiddler.

My parents saw her in it. They even have the souvenier program to prove it!

I remember in some book about Tony Awards, they printed a picture of Bette Midler from "Fiddler". But it was a posed studio shot of her in the wedding dress and it was sepia toned to look like your Great-Grandmother's wedding picture.

I wonder if they did that for all the actresses playing that part, of just Bette?

Why has no made a biopic of Mae West starring The Divine Miss M?

And the reason why she stands out amongst the other two is called "Star Quality."

Or because the choreography constantly separates her from the other two. Not that I don't love her...

Tazber-I believe it was(is) her ambition to play Lotte Lenya.

Tazzie,
Her Vegas show rocks. I am glad she is performing live for a while .

[tazber]

Oh I know, I wasn't being serious.

Her live shows are amazing.

We will see her in Vegas during our New Years trip there & looking forward to it.

We already have tickets for it.

Roxie.. allow time for the security check.

[Mr Roxy]

Posted: 7/20/08 at 1:27pm

Yup

Other than the clothes on your back, you can not bring anything in.

Mrs R wants to know what they sell souvenir wise.

There is a entire "Bette" store. All kinds of shirts, books, programs, pens, lighters, magnets, sweatshirts, posters from concerts past, and many other things. Buy before the show. The line is long after the show.
