2017 Bistro Award winner Cacophony Daniels (a.k.a. Jersey Boys’ Courter Simmons) stars in “Wanna Bette?”, a cabaret tribute to Bette Midler. With musical direction and arrangements by Kyle Branzel, Wanna Bette? is a fun, campy evening of songs from the Divine Miss M’s entire career!
Performed as only Cacophony can — in their original keys — featured songs follow the Bathhouse Beauty from her start on Broadway in Fiddler on the Roof to her Grammy-Award winning albums — The Divine Miss M and Experience the Divine — through her Oscar-nominated film roles in The Rose and For The Boys.
I have never before seen a tribute show quite like Wanna Bette?, drag artist Cacophony Daniels’s homage to Bette Midler, currently at Don’t Tell Mama. The evening celebrates Midler and her long professional career—52 years and counting—in fine style, and provides a thoroughly entertaining and stylish cabaret act.
