Here's what they're saying:

"Kathy looks & sounds so much like the real Bette... it's SPOOKY." |

"One of the best acts yet seen in Bally's celebrity impersonation revue is Kathy Thompson, and she is just wonderful as Bette Midler. Clad in tight toreador pants & high heels, Thompson presents an excellent physical & vocal portrayal of the superstar. But she actually goes beyond mere mimicry. Her turn is so energetic a& entertaining that she transcends simple impersonation. The performance stands as a great piece of work in its own right." |

"When Kathy Thompson took the floor and made with the pipes, her talent was disarming and a tough audeience melted in record time. Psuedo-Midler, tribute singer, call her what you will, this gal can belt a song and on ket. At times the resesmblance was startling, from the sheer lung power to the good-time gal/gay-bonhomie schtick that the real Bette midler does so well. In between there were twangy Midler inflections and camp demeanour, as she cracked wise with the guys and won over cunics with self-deprecation. Two words can account for Thompson's success in pretending to be what she's not: authority and generosity. The former she's got in spades, just like the real Bette. The giving vein was there in her big smile; she was enjoying herself. She tapped into Midler's energy and joy just for you singly and collectively and made us a gift of her voice." |
