HELLO, DOLLY! Previews — Page 26

The only thing I regret is not buying more tickets when they went on sale!

This production of Dolly is PURE Bliss ~ Bette is SENSATIONAL!

It is the NOT TO BE MISSED SHOW of the Year! Once it opens on 4/20 the run will SELL OUT...get tickets now b4 it's too late!

Just did an additional search and seats are available in the Mezz-Balcony for August & November.

Kisses to you.

I'm seeing THE LITTLE FOXES at 2:00p tomorrow, so, just for the hell of it, I decided to see if a single seat was available for HELLO, DOLLY at 8:00p. I had checked earlier, but all they had were premium tickets. Just now, at 10:20p, a single $189 seat in the Center Orchestra, Row S showed up on Telecharge. I'm not used to spending that much on a ticket, but I decided to treat myself!

Have a great time and enjoy! Out of curiosity I looked and there were no more $189 ticket prices for tomorrow eve.

Actually, Row S, seat 104 is still showing up as available for tomorrow night.

They probably want to be respectful, and the show probably isn't encouraging it, since they don't need to move any tickets.

Just grabbed a last minute single Orchestra Row L relatively-center ticket for Tuesday night, and I am practically jumping out of my skin excited. Now how am I supposed to get any work done today?!

Seems Scott Rudin is doing a great job keeping things off social media as all of the curtain call photos that first surfaced on Instagram and other platforms have been removed. It's obvious the cast and any members of the production have been instructed to refrain from posting anything on social media.

I'm Facebook friends with someone in the show. When rehearsals started he told me everyone involved in the shown had a non-disclosure clause in their contracts. It was being strictly enforced and all phones and cameras were collected before the cast entered the rehearsal hall.

I saw the show last night and was as transfixed as most people seem to be. Why? I saw Pearl Bailey in the original and also saw Channing in her last revival. I am a regular theatre goer and usually would stay away from a War Horse like this one but there truly is something electric in the air on that stage and in the house. Bette is just delightful. She lands every joke and brings charm and pathos to her character. I was moved seeing a 70 year old woman truly fearful that the parade will pass her by knowing that this would be her last chance. Her voice is lower than I remember and seemed a bit raspy. I'm concerned that this is after a night off and truly wonder if she can pull this off 7 times a week through the year. Here's hoping. As for the rest of the company, everyone was truly on their A game from DHP down through the chorus. The production was polished to a sheen and Warren Carlyle's choreography was truly an homage to Gower Champion. The show just works flawlessly on every level and is a joy to sit through. I was struck by the lack of depth of the playing area considering the passerelle (sp?) and all. The staging plays very much on the horizontal and was actually a bit concerned about someone falling into the pit from where I was in the front Mezz. Also, Bette and DHP shared a crack up late in the first act which seemed perhaps a bit rehearsed? There was someone sitting in front of me who saw this three times and didn't recall the flub last week but also said that the courtroom scene was redone from the previous week as well. They all are really polishing this gem into a 10 karat diamond. A truly memorable evening in the theatre. I just hope that Bette can keep on doing this. Any thoughts about a possible replacement for next year? I'm gonna guess that Scott Rudin is having quiet conversations with Reba MacIntyre. It's just the kind of terrific commercial casting that could keep this ship afloat with a whole new demographic in 2018. Go see it theatre fans!!!

"I'm considering seeing the show with Donna Murphy in late June when Midler's on vacation. Tickets are drastically cheaper(as expected). Anyone else just settling for seeing Murphy due to the prices Midler is commanding?"

Well.. If you are a Donna Murphy fan then go ahead. But won't you always be wondering what you missed? The whole reason this show is back on the boards is Bette. And she is on fire in this show. Worth every penny. And for those of you worried about Bette's voice or stamina. Her voice now is the way her voice sounds at 71. And I believe it adds a lot of charm and personality to the show. A friend who was in the chorus of her Cesars Palace Vegas run said the she had a very strong work ethic and never cancelled. I would think her Vegas show and concerts are a lot more taxing than Dolly.
