Fringeworld: The Divine Miss Bette

Fringeworld: The Divine Miss Bette The West Australian Idolize Spiegeltent,Perth Cultural Centre Season: 18-24 February 2013 // All shows at 8pm Bookings: www.fringeworld.com.au Bawdy, brash and just as fabulous as the original, The Divine Miss Bette will push all of your boundaries. This is your chance to become intimately acquainted with one of the greatest cabaret artists of our time, when charismatic performer Catherine Alcorn channels Bette Midler, transporting you back to the Palace Theatre, New York 1973 for a cabaret tribute to a timeless diva. Catherine has been trained by the one and only Steve Ostrow, the man who discovered Bette Midler and who owned the Continental Baths where he paired Bette and Barry Manilow together to make history. Catherine has been training with Steve since November 2009 in Sydney. Showcasing musical hits spanning four decades, Catherine effortlessly moves between the sensual ballads and upbeat melodies - from Friends, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and Miss Otis Regrets to the mesmerising Am I Blue and Hello in There. ‘The Divine Miss Bette is a glittering show whose smoke, mirrors, full-throttle power ballads and over-the-top costumes will lift your spirits!’ - TIME OUT
