Furthermore, any ticket purchased online will also get a copy of the Grammy-winner's new album, Billboard reports. 'It's The Girls!' features Midler covering huge hits from the likes of The Ronettes, The Supremes and The Shirelles.
Her recent version of TLC's 1995 track 'Waterfalls' reached No.5 on Billboard's Trending 140. "I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and I could hear through the beat to what the story really was. It's a classic ballad," she recently told Associated Press about covering the song.
