Bette Midler started off singing in bathhouses and went on to fill stadiums. Her charm, talent and humility raise her above other divas and secure her place in many people's hearts which is exactly why we are selling tickets to a tribute show. Join Lucy Tops as a luckless and desperate diva discovering the reasons why Bette's music has the power to move us like no other in the smallest theatre in Cape Town, a very long way from Las Vegas. This is the first show in Alexander Upstairs' own tribute series 'Stealing the Show', a shameless move on our part to cash in on musical legends like Bette. If there's someone you'd like to see on our stage send us a suggestion at stealingtheshow@jonkeevy.com and we'll see what we can do...

Our 1st time at the venue. We had a blast and the show was fantastic. Lucy is definitely one of Cape Towns' best performer / female vocalist / cabaret artists ! Great venue and show, We'll be back

Absolutely loved the show! It was intimate, funny and inspiring! Superb quality vocals! Can't wait for the next one!

It was truly excellent! I enjoyed both the performers and would like to see more of this type of theatre happening in Cape Town. I can make some suggestions for other shows if you would like and please put me on your e-mail list fo coming events!!

5/5!!! Great entertainment!!!

Enjoyed it very much, thanks.

Although no cabaret, the idea of calling up "helpers" made good audience participation. Lucy's voice is amazing and the choice of songs really proved this. A lovely show.

Excellent. Very professional and Lucy a real star

Fantastic - light, fun, entertaining and interactive, with Lucy's phenomenal voice enough to give one goosebumps!

My friends and I thought the show was fabulously fun, what an incredible performer she is!! I was also pleasantly surprised at how on the ball the Alexander Bar team was, so organised and professional. I will most definitely attend more shows at this venue. Thanks for a great evening :)

perfect, good team work, funny and very good singing too short!

Loved it! Lucy utterly amazing! Perhaps gentle amplification would have been nice because of effects possible.

A wonderful show. An engaging, natural performance. A beautiful voice.

brilliant!
