I am seriously in danger of going into cardiac arrest between now and 8:00.

Not bad for Jerry Zaks having 2 NYT Critics' Picks on Broadway right now.

PalJoey, I am so jealous.  I already attended earlier this week and I want to go again tonight!!!

Please post your thoughts tonight or tomorrow morning, once you've recovered from the BRILLIANCE you are about to witness tonight. After these rave reviews, the cast will be on fire.

Have a FANTASTIC time!!!

Very excited for you PJ, haha. My heart has been beating real fast since I saw the opening night bows (Better is SO cute)!

Seeing it tonight as well and anticipating a hyped-up house following the reviews. I just hope the audience will contain itself enough to let them perform the show!

I. LITERALLY. CANNOT. BREATHE.

Try to control yourself PJ, there will be plenty of time to wet yourself later!

Have fun though I know you will. We were in 6th row center and it was truly a star performance and an even tighter cast and ensemble with her. The orchestra is in fine sound too.

Tell us later.

Haha. This is what I have been doing all day today. Trolling on YouTube trying to find Bette's replacement because I never want this production to end.

(PS - Marin Mazzie, Faith Price, John Barrowman singing Before The Parade Passes By)

Also - Nikki M. James singing Before The Parade Passes By. This one's actually pretty hilarious.

 

Sorry. Back to Bette.

Following her opening night performance in “Hello, Dolly!,” Bette Midler arrives at the New York Public Library after-party, dressed in a midnight blue, floor-length custom Marchese gown.

 

I say, Dolly Gorgeous!

Is that her daughter on the extreme right watching on?

For everyone going this weekend, have a blast!  I guarantee you that this night will forever be one of your cherished theatre experiences (I know it was mine).  Savor it and enjoy!

No, that's Bridgette Everette, a comedienne. Where are these red carpet and party pictures Rudin?!

I'm surprised that no one has posted on the board here about the actual opening night performance (or did I miss something?)

I know it was electric. I'm just curious...

-What celebrities were there?

-Were Jerry or Carol in the audience?

-How long was her entrance applause?

-Standing O after title song? For how long?

-Any ad-libs?

From the pics on Instagram ... Sarah Jessica and husband, Andy Cohen, Gloria Estefan, Rosie, Bernadette ,  Phil Donohue, Marlo Thomas, and many more.

NY1 -Roma Torre
The hottest ticket on Broadway right now is for "Hello, Dolly!" starring Bette Midler. The show officially opened Thursday night. Is it deserving of the hype? 

It's perhaps a measure of my great admiration for this superlative production that I didn't even get to Jerry Herman's iconic score. The 23-piece orchestra plays it to perfection. And with the Divine Miss M to sing it, we've got a match made in heaven!

Back where she belongs, Bette Midler took her opening night bow on Broadway. But, that didn't stop her from causing quite the commotion collapses during hilarious curtain call gag at Hello, Dolly!

Didn't someone post on here they were friends with someone who was friends with Bernadette and that she's been asked to replace Midler?
