NYC: BETTE AND BARRY GO BACK TO THEIR ROOTS
Bette Midler tribute artist Donna Maxon revisits the glorious 70s with her new cabaret show BETTE & BARRY: BACK TO THE BATHHOUSE co-written by Maxon and director Michael Schiralli atTHE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909 - ) on Wednesdays, August 15th & 29th at 7:30 pm. Maxon stars as the Divine Miss M, performing a hilariously bawdy act of tunes, monologues, and jokes. The show co-stars musical director Fonda Feingold as Barry Manilow, and the duo proudly pays homage to the partnership that Midler and Manilow began at New York's Continental Baths in 1970. BETTE & BARRY: BACK TO THE BATHHOUSE is a theatrical imagining of current-day Midler and Manilow returning for "one more show, for old times sake" at the legendary Continental Bathhouse. Incorporating songs from throughout both Midler's career (Wind Beneath My Wings, Delta Dawn, Friends, and more) and Manilow's (Copacabana, Looks Like We Made It, Mandy, and others), the banter between the pair touches on highlights of their career, including a touching reminiscence of friends from their bathhouse days lost to AIDS. While Maxon has a long career as a Bette Midler tribute artist, this show marks the theatrical debut of Fonda Feingold (a woman) as Barry Manilow. There is a $20 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
