Just curious as to if there is any signage for Bette’s return in the theater?

I too was wondering about the delay but my tickets were emailed to me yesterday.  It will be my 4th time (3rd with Bette) and I am super excited. I just adore this show.

For all the obvious reasons, there is no signage at the Shubert Theatre announcing Bette's return.  This would impact current ticket sales for performances with Bernadette Peters as well as disrespecting the current cast in the show. 

This was also the case when Bernadette Peters was announced.  All the signage and advertisement with her name didn't go up until after Bette ended her run.

How about at the box office ?  And has there been any local advertising for Bette other than the press release?

I doubt it. They know that Bette's shows will all be sell-outs, so there's no real need to have every house sold out before she's even back.

I logged onto telecharge today to see what was available and I'm surprised that orchestra seats are more well-sold than mezzanine and balcony. In Bette's previous run the mezzanine and balcony were the first to sell out while you could nab orchestra seats on occasion.

Nothing in NYC  Dame and Bette is only doing 7 shows a week no Sunday matinee. Show is dark Sunday and Monday.

I saw the show yesterday afternoon, and the lamplights weren't there. Ryan Warsing was on as Ambrose, and all 3 male swings were on. Zachary Downer was the only new face I recognized since I saw the show in February.

Dollypop;  have you heard anything new regarding Jerry Herman going?  Is he still coming to New York like you said?

[Dollypop]

Posted: 5/17/18 at 7:56am

I haven't heard anything from Jerry in a while. I don't know whether that's because of the moving process or health issues.

Thanks for the info! I was able to exchange my balcony row G109 seat for an (albeit pricer but decent) orch seat. 

If anyone is interested in grabbing that balcony seat, I just got off the phone with customer service 5 minutes ago so it should be on the website soon.

Does anyone know if this will be filmed? Like for either theatrical release or Netflix?

Scott Rudin knows the answer, for sure.

The last of my tickets arrived yesterday: “Hello, Dolly!” with Bette Midler in August. 

Now I have all of the tickets in-hand for all my shows between now and the end of summer: “The Band’s Visit”, “Hello, Dolly!” (Bernadette Peters), “Hello, Dolly!” (Bette Midler), and “My Fair Lady”, all on Broadway; “Hamilton” in Cleveland for my birthday; and Disney’s “Aladdin” in Philadelphia. 

And I may be getting an advance ticket for “Hello, Dolly!” at the National Tour Launch in Cleveland for October. 

Very excited about all of this!

I'm doing a "DOLLY Double Header" on August 15th. As I examined the tickets, I found I'm in the same seat both times. I didn't realize that when I bought them.
