Just saw this a couple of weeks ago. She looks and sounds great. There's a bit of a slowing down compared to past outings (partially to give the Vegas crowd all the ballads they came to hear,) but all-in-all, it's a nice look back at her career.

I thought the staging of "Hello In There" was breathtaking . I have now seen this show 3 times and it has always been wonderful. And if it was upto me I would have even more ballads and less of the mermaid stuff.

I liked "Hello in There", too - it had been a long time since I'd heard it live!

The only thing I didn't like about the Delores segment was the belabored intro - just didn't work for me. Once she got going, I liked it. And you just HAVE to love when she works her balls

Saw it twice in January, and loved it each time (also loved the specialty drinks, but anyway). Aside from From a Distance, which I could never tell if Bette was really into it, it was an incredible evening. I think my fave, aside from Hello in There, were Do You Want to Dance and When a Man Love a Woman.

Sounds like this and the Jerry Mitchell show make it worth a trip to Vegas.

I'm going to the show in August. I'm so excited!
