Will we see Bette Midler on the stage again

I know she has other projects on the go and is likely taking some deserved time off after dolly. I’m just wondering if anyone thinks she will tour a concert or do another show in the future. Especially that a lot of artists who debuted around the same time are looking at retirement

As far as I can tell .. the Hollywood Pantages Theater is the only theater that is not using Betty Buckleys name in their Dolly signage.  ( Unless things have changed)  When the tour was announced there was fan based speculation that Bette would reprise Dolly for the short LA run.  She did that with her other show and this has happened a number of times at the Pantages when tours stop in LA.  The original stars have comeback and reprised their broadway turns . Hairspray and Pippin are the two shows that quickly come to mind.  When I asked Betty Buckley on her page if she would be appearing in the LA stop of the tour she did not answer.  Usually she will answer anyone on anything.

 

As far as touring in concert.  She has already said that she wants to tour smaller venues.

I've always wondered if she would make a good Mame - but who would be able to upstage her as Vera?

Everyone will make fun of me, but I'm still waiting for her to star in Hocus Pocus the musical...

I know it won't happen, but can you imagine?
