Kyle E 10/10/2022 Warning: Spoilers Outstanding interpretation of Bette Midler as domineering mother Rose Hovick marks this excellent 1993 production. Surprisingly, Midler won the Golden Globe Award for best actress and it was certainly well-deserved. She is bossy, sincere and forever endearing in the part. She belts out the songs, not exactly in the tradition of Ethel Merman, but with her own style-she reached new heights herself. Her facial contortions are excellent. At times, in her face, I saw her characters in "Hocus Pocus," and when she sings "Everything is coming up roses," at the train station, I thought I was seeing Gloria Swanson of "Sunset Boulevard" memory. Peter Riegert was most suitable in the role of her manager, the guy she loved dearly, but couldn't marry due to her stubborn belief that the careers of her girls came first. The woman who played Louise, who is eventually drawn into the burlesque world, reminded me of the late Natalie Wood. Ironically, Wood played her part in the memorable 1962 film with the late Roz Russell. A marvelous, endearing show with great performances by all concerned.

Bette Midler makes a seamless performance, while those surrounding her create a dynamic environment. The little blonde girl really sells it, too. It's a good one for karaoke, and I know all the songs. See more 08/14/2018 Although reboots usually don't do the original justice, this one does! Bette Midler (and a few others!) has (have) much better vocals than Rosalind Russell's 1962 version as the pushy stage mom! See more 12/21/2015 One of Bette Midler's best!
