Bette Midler may be the new queen of Broadway, but don’t expect a free ride!
The Divine Miss M is starring in a wildly popular revival of the musical “Hello, Dolly!”
“Bette has six house seats to every show. They are reserved for her to buy.
If she doesn’t want them, then they are released 24 hours before her performance,” a show insider told Radar.
“Tons of friends have been begging her to get them tickets, but what they don’t realize is Bette has to pay $209
for each of her reserved seats, and she isn’t willing to eat the expense.
Charge them. Many people work on the show and in the Theatre and they need to be compensated. Giving away tickets doesn’t do that. If they are truly friends and fans they would be happy to support this production.
Why should she have to pay for people to have the privilege of seeing the show? I see nothing wrong with this. If people don’t like it they can obtain tickets in other ways.
I imagine that the show is pretty well sold out so if her friends want to see the show I’m sure they can afford to pay for tickets – if not they are sold to others who do!
Hi Bette I would pay to come and see you anytime if I could. The staff still need to be paid for the work that they do xxx
