Bette Midler: Cherish Forever What Makes You Unique with John Kenrick

How did a nice Jewish girl from Honolulu overcome the odds and single handedly conquer pop music, Broadway and even Hollywood? And how did she literally change the landscape of New York City? Entertainment historian John Kenrick returns with this affectionate and sometimes bawdy look at a beloved, one of a kind star.

John Kenrick has worked in the theatre at every level from amateur to Broadway, eventually serving as personal assistant to six Tony Award winning producers, including the team behind the original production of Rent. He has taught musical theatre history courses at New York University’s Steinhardt School, The New School University, and Philadelphia’s University of the Arts. John’s books include Musical Theatre: A History. He is the creator of the educational website Musicals101.com, and is a founding curator for the new Museum of Broadway in NYC.
