This gets discussed every week on here. Block will never headline a revival of Dolly.
ps: It has technically been revived three times.

Posted: 8/9/10 at 2:00pmDid anyone see Victoria Clark do it regionally? I think she would be a beautiful fit.

I believe I'd say, "No, thanks."
Or, more accurately, "No, thanks, unless I get a free ticket, and have nothing better to do that evening."

Posted: 8/9/10 at 4:19pmI would love to see Faith Prince as Dolly, but with three revivals already, it doesn't have to be on the top of the list.

I didn't, but I do think she'd be a great fit.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 8/9/10 at 4:41pmI'd say bring it on. Would love to see Carol Channing in it (again), maybe Christopher Plummer as Horace Vandergelder....

Posted: 8/9/10 at 5:24pmI agree that Victoria Clark is very over rated. Faith Prince is a tad too old but could be fun. Dolly is not intended to be as old as most of the actresses who have played her on Broadway. And if they do revive the show, they need to make the same musical edits as the film and ax some real crappy numbers and please, please, please, a Dolly who can actually sing! The role is written for a belter, not someone barking out the lyrics.

Posted: 8/9/10 at 6:22pmYou have to wait till Carol Channing is dead or she would be climbing up on that stage nightly no matter who was actually supposed to play the role.

I'll use this opportunity to recycle some of my favorite audition suggestions:
Dolly - Reba McEntire
Horace - Boyd Gaines
Irene - Anne Hathaway
Cornelius - Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Oops...got my Jerry Herman shows mixed up. Well, Gaines would be terrific as Beau in mame or Horace in Dolly.

Posted: 8/9/10 at 9:20pmI'd say Carolee Carmello in the title role.
#21What would you say to a Hello Dolly revival??
Posted: 8/9/10 at 9:25pmWhat is the deal with people and Stephanie Block? Is it that she's really chatty and friendly at the stage door? Besides not having any marquee value (essential to a commercial run of Dolly!), she can't act her way out of a paper bag.

I would say, "Don't bother, you'll never top the exquisite film version with Barbra"
HELLO, DOLLY the movie is one of great films of all time.

Posted: 8/9/10 at 9:32pmI'd say, you kids have fun at the show, but I have to clean out the utility closet.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 8/9/10 at 10:39pmDid anyone get to see Rachel York as Dolly? I heard good things about her and would love to see her in the role.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
