Critic Reviews
If you have missed Janis Joplin, and if you have looked forward to
Bette Midler's debut in a role she seemed born to play, you should leave
the theatre at that precise moment. Almost everything else in and about
The Rose, except a few concert sequences and the
occasional occasions when Miss Midler falls out of character and into her
stage persona of The Divine Miss M, is infuriatingly tedious, depressing,
pretentious, obvious and downright pushy. [10 Nov 1979]
The best reason to see The Rose is to be in a position to relish the inevitable parody on "Saturday Night Live." Here's a sitting turkey that virtually sits up and begs to be plucked. [8 Nov 1979, p.F1]
