Bette Midler is being cheered for something other than her singing, acting or liberal tweets.
After taking a tumble from a moving platform in her “Hello, Dolly!” show Thursday night, the 71-year-old star was hailed for returning to the Shubert Theatre stage.
CNN reported that one audience member tweeted: ”She is amazing. Back on stage like a champ to thunderous applause!”
Midler also took to Twitter to say she’s OK:
“You may hear I was in a little accident on stage tonight; two set pieces collided, I had to make a run for it, and I fell. But I’m fine.”
