Dolly as Dolly?

Posted: 5/4/09 at 9:50am

B'way producer James Nederlander -- in whose Marriot Marquis Theatre "9 to 5" is up and running -- wants Dolly [Parton] for "[Hello,] Dolly." Three cities. New York, Chicago, LA. Ten weeks each. Percentage, plus salary. Enough to keep her in wigs for a really long time. Call.

I didn't know Dolly (Parton) wears a wig.

Coincidentally, I was watching Hannah Montana this morning, and Dolly was in it, making a joke about how the Hannah wig was one of hers.

... I'll just get my coat...

Sometimes simultaneously.

As Dolly P herself says "Do you have any idea how much it costs to look this cheap?"

I. Love. Dolly.

But as I've said 100,001 times, I want to see Bernadette play Dolly. Please, "Encores: Summer Stars"? Please?

I just can't imagine that. But I'd buy a ticket.

Well, I can see it.

She has the talent. She has the stamina. She has the name. And she's just weird enough to be a good successor for Carol Channing.

Is she believable as being from Yonkers?

I would go see Dolly as Dolly, but if we're going with a country Dolly, I'd much prefer Reba.

I was thinking they could say she's from Yonker's Holler.

Her "Give me a sign, Ephraim" speech and "Before the Parade Passes By" would be phenomenally moving.

I've been saying for years that this should happen. She's got the humor, heart, and talent to spare. I'd buy her from Yonkers in the sense she married a man from Yonkers and moved there.

Pleeeeeeease, let this happen!

Plenty of actresses I'd rather see as Dolly...
