Seminole Hard Rock Life April/May Edition | 页面 4

FRIDAY, MAY 8, 2015 AND SATURDAY MAY 9, 2015. or the first time in more than a decade, the legendary Bette Midler returns to the stage for an unforgettable live performance. Midler will kick off her international tour right here at Hard Rock Live! The Hawaiian-born performer has been described as a quintessential entertainer: a singer, a dancer, a comedienne and a dramatic actress. Surprisingly, as a child Bette was shy and quiet; taking an interest in the dramatic arts helped her break out of her shell. She went on to study drama at the University of Hawaii before venturing to New York City to pursue big dreams of becoming famous! Bette landed her first big break when she joined the cast of Fiddler on the Roof. Driven by passion, Bette began to explore outside Broadway, taking her talents to the big screen and the recording studio. Her gift was being noticed and she quickly found success. The bold and funny entertainer is known for a number of accomplishments. She’s earned four Grammy Awards including Song of the Year for the hit “Wind Beneath My Wings,” Record of the Year, two Academy Award nominations, three Emmy Awards, one Tony Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and nine American Comedy Awards. She has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. The tour will have a little old and a little new—fans will be able to catch the singer perform hits from her iconic career as well as material from her new album, “It’s The Girls!” - a glorious tribute to girl groups through the ages. “It’s The Girls!” features the swinging sounds of WWII-era Andrews Sisters, to ‘60s super-groups like the Supremes and the Shirelles, to ‘90s hit makers TLC. Join us for a captivating performance that will be sure to have you entertained and singing along all night long.
