Do you think they’ll do something special for Donnas last performance? I’m certain they will for Bette’s, but I wonder if Jerry Zaks or a cast member will make a speech for Donna.

It's very enjoyable, although the TDF tickets for last Friday were in the Balcony but at least it was center balcony. Maybe Tuesday is a better night for seating.

I wish they’d send Bernadette and Donna both to the studio to record a few tracks.
By the way, do we know if Dolly has recouped? It would seem a bit odd if they haven’t.

Saw this tonight via TDF - I was in row S of the orchestra, center. Great seat. I had previously seen the show from the balcony with Midler. I felt like, as a newcomer to Dolly, I understood the story more this time, and the ups and downs of the show. Midler is an entertainer sure, but Murphy is an actress and she is incredible. Her vocals were gorgeous - nice to hear the songs sung - and she had some great quiet moments and some great scene stealers as well. I felt like the whole cast was having a blast and everyone had moments to shine. It's still such an impressive show.
What's the line that Irene says before "Elegance." I thought the word she was going to say was "cab," but she said a different word, which might actually be the line, but it sounded like she flubbed a little and then Gavin and Trevor repeated the same word. But again, new to the show, so maybe just my ignorance.
Also, has anyone been backstage? I'm really really curious to see how they store all that set.

TDF states clearly that their DOLLY seats are in the balcony, however I was happy to learn my TDF seat was in the orchestra last Wednesday. Luck of the draw?

Got a TDF ticket for this evening. I didn't see any seat section specification when I ordered. Will go back and look.

The line is "hack". I can't imagine that it would be flubbed this late in the run but anything can happen I guess.
Nice to know that TDF seating isn't always in the balcony. I won't take my chances but it would be nice if they clarified it on the ticket page.

Midler is an entertainer sure, but Murphy is an actress and she is incredible.
Midler is also an "actress." Perhaps you've seen some of her other work on stage, on TV or at the movies. I heard she even won a Tony, an Emmy and four Golden Globes and was nominated for two Oscars - all for her work as an actress. That would put her one nomination-turned-win away from joining the elite EGOT club. Pretty incredible, I'd say.

I'm well aware. I didn't include mention of the Grammys in my post (of which Ms. Midler has won several) because it is the only non-acting category.

Just got in. Murphy was fantastic.
It was my first time seeing the show onstage. (Saw the movie years ago) Thismis an absolutely beautiful production.
Gavin Creel was out. Had wanted to finally see him live but after Christian Dante White opened his mouth to sing, I forgot about him. God what a voice on that man!
I am sure Midler is very good in this. It is mostly tailor made for her. I have seen her live as well as most of her movies and own most of her music. I feel I know pretty much what I would have gotten had I seen her. And it would have felt a bit more like "an event" and the Bette Midler show to me. I love Bette, she is an icon, but am so glad I saw Ms. Murphy in this. I had a smile on my face for almost the entire evening!
The omly negative were the people behind me talking during the first part of the overture before I turned and glared at them and the man kicking my seat constantly at the top of Act 2. I finally turned around and asked him to stop, found his wife on the phone and told her she should NOT be on her phone. Phone went off immediately and he only kicked my seat twice near the end.
Also, Bette's name is all over the merch so I did not get my usual, a magnet. However, I donated to BCEFA and got The Boys of Harmomia Gardens 2018 calendar!

so is Donna's final show Tuesday, January 9 or is it Sunday, January 7 @ 7:30? January 9 has been removed from the schedule on both Telecharge & the show's website.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Great! Thanks! The 7th is actually easier for me to get to than the 9th. So glad I'll be able to catch her final show. BTW, there's lots of seats available for Murphy's final show.

I'm on the fence. If Donna's last performance was at the Sunday matinee, I wouldn't hesitate.

There's still a ton of seats available for Donna's final show this Sunday night. I hope she gets a full house for her last show.

I am very surprised that Donna Murphy is not even listed in the cast list for Hello Dolly. (Playbill Vault)
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

^i just checked the playbill vault page and she’s listed right next to Bette. Are you looking at the opening night listings? She’s considered a replacement.

Do they still offer $47 partial view rush tickets for Donna's shows?
