Beth Leavel in Hello, Dolly! at Ogunquit Playhouse

I am so thrilled with this news. I love Beth Leavel and bought my tickets a while ago so this is such a gift. Can’t wait. She’s going to kill it.

Oh, how I adore her. She's given me so many unforgettable nights in the theatre - Drowsy, The Prom, her "Ladies Who Lunch" in Old Friends, and so many more. Would love to see her Dolly. 

It looks like it is seven miles from Greyhound or Amtrak.

Absolutely going to kill it, she's so talented. And it's such a beautiful drive from the City in the Summertime.

 

That video is no longer public. Possibly someone mistakenly released it too soon.

Yes, there is a train that runs from Boston up to Portland, with a stop at Wells (one town north of Ogunquit). From there you would have to get an Uber to the Playhouse. The Playhouse is walkable to most accommodations in Ogunquit. It's one of my favorite vacation places, and the Playhouse does high quality shows. 

Don't know if she's ever played Mame, but she did play Vera Charles (opposite Dee Hoty's Mame) at St. Louis MUNY.    She also did "Gypsy" at the MUNY.

Just to add on to this for Jordan and any other New Yorkers - Boston's North and South Station are not connected at all, so if you were coming from NYC, you'd wind up at South Station (if on the train you could also get off at Back Bay) and then would need to get yourself to North Station for the Downeaster, which runs up to Maine. South to North Station is not doable via public transportation so I'd suggest Amtrak to Back Bay, then take the orange line from there to North Station...or just rideshare from South Station.

Wholeheartedly agree.  Plus I would add that her Miss Hannigan at Papermill was an absolute delight. And I loved her as the Baroness in Lempicka. 

 

 

Absolutely thrilled with this news. I only live about half an hour away from Ogunquit, so I was already planning to see this early in the run in case I wanted to see it a second time. Now it looks like it might be a second, third, fifth, tenth, twelfth.... 

Full cast includes Matt Doyle as Cornelius Hackl and Ruthie Ann Miles as Irene Molloy

Tenth, twelfth, eighteenth, twenty-second.... I don't know if I can afford this production. 😂
