The curtains are coming to a close for Celine Dion’s long running show “A New Day” on December 15, 2007 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada and another lady is stepping up to fill her shoes.
Officials announced today that Bette Midler will be their next live act.
Bette Midler had this to say about her upcoming gig:
“I’m looking forward to it, but also I’m terrified because it’s huge,” she told The Associated Press by telephone. “That’s giving me the vapors.”
“At the same time, they also give you a lot of toys to play with. They give you the lifts and you can fly people in, you can fly them out. There’s all this wing space and hydraulics and stuff, and the dressing rooms are staggering. It should be an opera house somewhere in the Black Forest.”
Midler, 61, said she agreed to a two-year contract to work 100 shows a year, performing five nights a week for 20 weeks beginning Feb. 20.
Sounds like a breath of fresh air for the Las Vegas Strip, wouldn’t you say?
