AMBER MARTIN IN BATHHOUSE BETTE Bathhouse Bette is an uplifting celebration of the earliest bathhouse performances by iconic singer, actor and comedian Bette Midler. In the early 70s an unknown, rising star got her first gig singing weekend shows to men in towels at the legendary Continental Baths for gay men in NYC. Grab your complimentary bath towel and prepare to get a little steamy as Bathhouse Bette pays tribute to the bawdy—sometimes naughty—comedy and beautiful music of Bette Midler in this budding period.

“[MARTIN’S] VOICE PROVED TO HAVE MORE POWER, SILKINESS, AND CLARITY THAN HER IDOL WITH ROUNDER TRUMPET-LIKE TONES AND LESS FRY, BUT WITH THE ABILITY TO MATCH LA DIVINE’S ROCK & ROLL GROWL & SCREAM VOCALS WHEN SHE REQUIRED IT.” BROADWAY WORLD
