I'm bored and turned it off now but that opening with all the Dollys, cast and song was AMAZING.

This has been by far my favorite of the streaming fundraisers!

All smiles here. Some great bits - the Dear Evan Hanson, Diana, the Mama Rose sing-off, and, of course, The Story Goes On.

Some quick thoughts: Celia Keenan-Bolger's story. I lost my mother 9 years ago. So, this hit home.

Laura Benanti's mom's singing voice - um, wow!

And, somebody should produce Gypsy with Jennifer Holliday as Rose.

Damn, Celia. Gonna be thinking of that story for a long time...

Can someone explain the ending with Andrea Burns? Is there an inside joke I'm missing?

^My guess is that it's supposed to be Bette calling, like from the opening of the broadcast? That, or it's an editing error?

That opening was beyond sensational! It was incredible to see all those DOLLY faces again--even my beloved Charlie Stemp from across the pond! It made me realize how much I miss them.

Dammit....I'm all out of Kleenex!

Seeing all the Dollys made me giddy. The other highlights were Celia’s beautiful and incredibly articulate story and the Story Goes On.

I fondly remember when Liz Calloway first made me cry with The Story Goes On onstage at BABY back in the early 80's. The version on her own CD has always had the same effect on me, just the perfect marriage of song and singer. But man, nothing could be as beautiful as the rendition today with those gorgeous ladies alongside her. Brilliant job, all.

The fact that everyone besides Gavin was in this when he plays a big role in the song and the show makes me nervous. I know he was diagnosed at the beginning of this, but it seems like it's been a while since we've heard from him. Hope he's okay!

just watched this. The DOLLY opening was stunning. Loved all the Mama Roses, the Come From Away cast & Celia!

I was concerned about that as well (was Taylor Trensch in it?) Possibly Gavin was somewhere with bad wi-fi.

Taylor was Is in it.
What was the song Kelly O’Hara sang?

^ Yup, Taylor was it it. Seems like Gavin is the only one who wasn’t. I remember seeing him on something at the beginning of all of this and he did seem like he was in some sort of cabin in the woods, but these are taped, so I’d assume his WiFi doesn’t have to be stellar to just send a video. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏻

Gavin does have a cabin upstate. Don't know how good the wi-fi is in that area.

She's stunning, funny, and that VOICE! Apparently she did a workshop or a reading of something a little while ago. I remember Laura posting about how proud she is that her mom was rejoining the world of performing publicly more and more.
