One singers journey of Divine intervention (a play on Midlers moniker, The Divine Miss M), and her show title isnt merely a cute pun on the classic Broadway Musical in which Midler launched her career in the role of Tzeitel in 1966. As Ozard once again used her cabaret show as an act of catharsis--chronicling her trials, tribulations, addictions, and insecurities--it became clear that the talented singer has long been on a quest to try scratching out a pleasant, simple life without breaking her neck. As her show promotion revealed, This tale narrates growing up through bullying [among other things] and finding self-acceptance through Bette Midlers music. This time, through a combination of self-deprecating humor, entertaining anecdotes, her strong mezzo-soprano voice, fine direction from Kristine Zbornik, stylish musical direction from pianist Steven Ray Watkins, and of course, the classic songs of The Divine One, Ozard made it all work. (Daniel Fabricatore on bass and Tim Lykins on drums rounded out Ozards solid band.) Stephen Hanks, BroadwayWorld
