Bette extended
 

NEW YORK (AP) - Bette Midler isn't ready to kiss off just yet.

The four-time Grammy winner announced a second leg of her Kiss My Brass! tour Tuesday. The additional dates will kick off on Sept. 30 at the Verizon Arena in Manchester, N.H., and will include a four-night stint at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The first leg of "Kiss My Brass!" was 2003's most successful North American tour, averaging almost $1 million per night at the box office.

The musical and theatrical mishmash, Midler's first in four years, features over-the-top sets, numerous costume changes and songs including "The Rose,""Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,""Wind Beneath My Wings" and selected songs from her most recent release, "Bette Midler Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook."

The second leg of the tour will make 31 stops in cities such as Atlantic City, N.J.; Atlanta; Miami; Detroit; and Chicago. It will end in Denver on Dec. 10.

I'm already set to go to two shows. ;) :D

This tour is her best ever. She's very thin, very fit, and the show is incredibly extravagant. She's lowered onto the stage on a carousel horse, for cripes sake. :laugh: I don't know how she does it. Stevie should take some pointers from The Divine on onstage energy!

I love Bette Midler, it's great that her tour is doing so well. I really wish I could go see her. :thumbsup:

Darn, I thought this was about Bette Davis! :D Too bad....
AMber

I knew this...
 

already since I received an email from the Ford Center this past Friday about her upcoming Nov.12 show in OKC...

San Antonio, here I come!!

Bette's itinerary on Pollstar

been a bette fan for years
(those dance mixes of "in these shoes"and i'm beautiful are simply divine:)
wish i could see her but she isn't coming to holland and i've already been to the states this year (well atleast i saw 3 shows from the second leg of the say you will tour there :p)

Mmmmmm, I love the Calderone mix of "In These Shoes." :thumbsup:

my favorite ïn these shoes remix is the "sound factory vox mix"(especialy the spoken intro)
i do not know the calderone mix though
my us cd maxi has 7 mixes on it but not one of em by calderone :(

What a drag - no LA date. I will have to venture behind the Orange Curtain to see her. :distress:

Damn, she's not coming anywhere near me. I saw her back in the early to mid 90's and just loved her. She's fabulous!
