Agreed.

Nobody said they were at an invited dress rehearsal... just simply that they were there. Sit down.
"
That is NOT what they said.

This is funny. It actually doesn't start for another 30 minutes.. so whoever said they were there is either lying or confused with what they attended. Sure; anyone with any connection can say they attended a rehearsal or whatever. But that is not what we are talking about here. And that is not what they said they saw.

Quite the message and show me otherwise because I keep reading it and it is not changing.

They didn't say they were there today? Just that they were THERE for a REHEARSAL on SATURDAY. Christ, people, do you read?

Yeah, come on, just go back and read. He never said he was at an INVITED dress rehearsal.

Yes he did. He was responding to the comment right before where Valentina asked if he was there.. He said he was there. Even the title of the thread reads INVITED DRESS REHEARSAL.

I understand. I understand what you are saying. I can read.
My argument is that you refuted the fact that the poster was there at the Shubert Theater and witnessed a rehearsal. I didn't mean an INVITED Dress. Normally, invited dress rehearsals are the day before previews (sometimes two) so I assumed we were all on the same page. You said that it wasn't possible they were there, and it is indeed possible, that they saw a rehearsal. I apologize for the confusion, but I stand by my comment.

I saw the invited dress - with Dorothy Lamour. Does that count?

Of course it does. And don't Bette and Dorothy actually have a song in common: "The Moon of Mannakoora." No?
Or is it my aged imagination that Bette used to sing that?
Here, for those who await seeing Bette, is the best-ever version of "Before the Parade Passes By," sung by Pearl Bailey:

I will be going Tuesday night. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the final invited dress rehearsal will not be cancelled.

At the end of the day, the show has a massive advance.
The show could be horrible and it wouldn't make a difference. That said, I highly doubt it will be horrible. Bette will own this.

12-18" of snow is expected during most of the day...transportation will be the issue as airports are already posting delays-cancellations possible

Regarding the comment about Doll's costume changes:
She only wears 5 costumes and has ample time for each one with the possible exception of the Grant Finale wedding dress.

Let's hear it from folks who attended the supposed Sunday matinee invited dress rehearsal. How are the costumes? (that's all I care about right now lol, performances and sound etc. will keep changing for rest of the week I'm sure)
