It was scheduled to be revived in 2010, but never was. I would love to see this!

I think Laura Benanti would be perfect in 8-10 years! I saw the original off broadway and when it opened on Broadway. It will be hard for anyone to touch Christine’s performance, but I have faith that Benanti could of anyone.

I was just looking at the partial view, Balcony AA seats. I also love her, and wonder how much these seats miss. The theater definitely seems tiny, but I’ve never been there either.

Oh, I meant to silly to argue against both performances being taped! I’m also a huge fan of the show and saw all three Dolly’s multiple times!

Wayman is correct, and I’m not sure who they name dropped? The director of TOFT? Anyway, DollyPop is also right, they changed the polka contest too, and Bernadette’s title number had additional lyrics and I think, although I am not sure, that her choreography was slightly different as well. Regardless, it all was recorded. Seems a silly thing to argue about. I’m not sure who wouldn’t want both incredible performances archived.

Per a cast member, the entire performance was taped for the archives with Bernadette.

EddieP said: "I saw Bernadette 9 times, and Donna's last last night. My impression was that Donna was very good -- a different interpretation (bright, cheery, flirtatious), but Bernadette's Dolly is way more intense. I also liked Garber's interpretation. David Hyde Pierce is more of a comedic actor, but Garber stuck with playing Vandergelder as a clueless fool, and it worked better for me. --The thing with Bernadette is she really improvises a lot and is really edgy.

What could be next for Bernadette Peters? Aug 5
2018, 12:20:49 PM
She has also been one to always say that if she goes out seeking something, it never works out for her, so she has learned to trust the universe and let projects come to her. Seems to have worked for her so far.

I wonder if she was ever approached to write a memoir like Patti LuPone did not too long ago. I'm sure she has great stories to share, especially about her personally life;how she grew up, dealing with the loss of her husband, Steve Martin, or if she ever wanted children or regrets not having one etc. I'm sure it would

I’m good with any of these too! As long as we get her back on the stage!

She is definitely doing more concerts, she already has 5-6 dates set that I have seen. And not really at smaller venues either. Segerstrom, Walt Disney Concert Hall, other symphonies. I have tickets to see her in 2019. I expect as various houses release their seasons, and subscription series, more will pop up.
I would love to see her back on Broadway, and think (hope) she will if/when the right thing comes up. I’d really like to see her do a straight play.
I’m hoping

This is amazing casting! I would love to see this show in NY whether off broadway or not. I missed the original, and I’ve always kicked myself for that. I also agree that enough has changed since 2004 that this could have an easier time finding an audience now.

It’s so interesting to read the different reactions to the show from here to other places online (where many love it). I’m hoping to go next weekend to see it and see which side I fall on lol.

Worse British/American Accent Jul 23

Dollypop said: "Happy to say that Charlie Stemp does a great job sounding American in HELLO, DOLLY!"
He really does! There’s only once inthe show, when Cornelius says that he will use the word “pudding” and Barnaby questions “pudding?” back to him, that I hear his British accent slightly! And that took quite a few times of seeing him to pick up on that.

Best seating for Hello Dolly Jul 17

I prefer the front of the balcony over the back of the mezz. Front mezz is perfect!

There were 7 standing ovations in the orchestra, including standing for just about all of the Title number. After we stood the second time, we just didn’t sit down. Absolutely amazing afternoon, many years from cast and audience alike. There was extra love for all of the cast, and it truly felt like a closing of the show rather than just their last. Still processing all the feelings!
