Sir Lawrence Oliver:
Bette Midler is a genius . . . seeing her was in fact the happiest, funniest experience I have had in the theatre." 

Robert Hilburn - Los Angeles Times:
. . . a simple stunning tour de force that left little doubt about who the new queen of the concert-cabaret field in America.  Without deprecating the talent of her rivals for the title, Midler shows more range and vision on stage than Streisand . . . The important thing is Midler is back and she is, once again, truly divine.

David Sheehan - KNXT (CBS-TV):
She is sensational.  The most exhilarating, exciting, kaleidoscopically varied concert performance I've seen in years . . . she's way beyond Streisand.  I really love her! YEAH!
