Tribute to Bette Midler
Kathy Thompson brings the glamour, powerhouse vocals, and outrageous humor of everyone’s favorite Divine Diva to the stage in her unforgettable tribute to Bette Midler.
With a career portraying Bette Midler that began in 1995 with Legends in Concert in Las Vegas, Kathy quickly earned attention for both her striking resemblance and her remarkable voice. During her audition, John Stuart was overheard saying, “She looks just like her.” Audiences soon discovered that Kathy had more than just the look, she had the sound, the spirit, and the larger-than-life personality to match.
Her show celebrates Bette’s most beloved songs, including Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Wind Beneath My Wings, Stuff Like That There, I’m Beautiful, The Rose, You Don’t Own Me, Under the Boardwalk, and more. Blending music, comedy, charisma, and a delightfully bold sense of humor, Kathy captures the sparkle and sass that made Bette Midler a true entertainment icon.
Kathy has performed her tribute across North America and around the world, appearing in Las Vegas, Branson, Cancun, Myrtle Beach, San Francisco, Atlantic City, Japan, Berlin, Cologne, Switzerland, Florida, Toronto, Ottawa, Hartford, on Caribbean cruise ships, and many other stages. From casinos and theatres to dinner shows, cruises, festivals, and special events, Kathy’s tribute to Bette Midler is a dazzling celebration of music, laughter, and pure diva energy.
