The Showgirl WILL go on!
Im sorry, but if you are going to give a performer a negative review, you should know how to spell that performers name correctly. Do not be deceived, the Showgirl WILL go on and she does it damn well. If you are a true fan, you are going to miss the length and individuality of the old tours, but it is still an amazing time with a fabulous diva. All the best to Bette! You are a true Divine Diva. Michael H. Ostrom
