A funny Dolly! story. Kathryn Crosby, who for some reason speaks fluent Russian, played Dolly in a Moscow production. She interpolated "White Christmas' into the score.

Caroline, GREAT PIX! I attended both the 50th reunion chat yesterday and a brunch today at Sardi's honoring Dolly cast members. What a lot of FUN! If anyone was at either event and wants some photos (I took a lot) message me.

I feel like ALL those ladies pictured were likely magnificent... except Martha Raye. She had her time, but I can imagine there was a lot of mugging in her DOLLY.

Yes, Martha Raye did her share of mugging but she also sand the hell out of the score. "Before The Parade Passes By" never sounded better.

Dollypop, who was your favorite Dolly ( I assume it was Channing, but I may be wrong)? I think Channing is such a personality that she could light up a room just by walking in. Whenever I hear the Original Cast Recording, I am filled with happiness. Carol seems to BE Dolly.

After Eight, at least we can agree that HELLO, DOLLY! is simply fantastic, with lush music and a timeless book. It is one of my favorite shows, and it made me fall in love with Jerry Herman's music.

It really is the perfect Broadway Musical. It never fails to make me smile and I always leave the theatre feeling happy and humming the incredible score.

I do hope it gets a much deserved revival on Broadway soon.
