Well, guess it's not so bad that I missed out buying tickets for what was supposed to be Bette's farewell performance in January. Maybe I can get one more chance to see Bette.

I want to buy tickets for her last performance of the return. But won’t they f me up again?

I wonder what kind of schedule Bette will be on for these six weeks. Her return date is a Tuesday and the closing date is a Saturday, rather than the more conventional Sunday. I would be over the moon if they brought Donna Murphy back too (she was my favorite of the three) but I doubt it would be worth it to bring her back for just six performances.

I actually had heard that the show made much less money than expected. I don't know where the funds went as the show was raking in over 2 mil a week when Bette was there but it wasn't the financial windfall its investors were expecting. It might have recouped but I think investors were expecting way way more than what actually happened.

Wonder if they'd put Betty Buckley in for a few Tuesday nights if Bette is still going to do just 7 shows?

I assume the same producers of the Broadway run also back the tour, would that be right?

How confident are we that August 25 will indeed be the final day, actual closing performance? I’m going to aim for a ticket for that night, but will be so disappointed if they pull another Actor’s Fund situation and extend another week or something.

Yes. And the sets and costumes will be repurposed for the tour.

I already asked the guy who handled tickets for the Actors Fund benefit and he said there is no benefit this time.

I can't believe they wouldn't extend till Labor Day. It's a very Rudin thing to do.

The articles say DHP.

Take a Xanax, lie down, and breathe into a paper bag until you calm down?

4.) How much was Midler making a week if they're barely turning a profit?"
Wasn't it stated early on that she was getting $150,000 per week?

All casting notices said it’s a production contract.

Who said they were barely making a profit? If you are referring to Poison Ivy's previous post I assure you she knows nothing . She is just pulling things out of thin air.
@Dollypop; I have been thinking of you since I heard about this last night. Just know that Dolly will never, ever, really go away again.
