Firstly, this is probably a long shot. I saw the Broadway revival of Hello Dolly in 2018 (Donna Murphy's final performance) and it remains one of the most thrilling experiences I've had in a theatre. I foolishly opted out of buying a souvenir programme and have regretted it ever since. I have looked and looked online for one but no avail. By any chance, is someone on here selling one or know someone that is?
Are you talking about the books they were selling for like $75?
I actually think I do have an extra one

They were being sold for 40$ up until Bette's return. Then they were sold for 75$.
I seem to remember mine being 50 dollars for Bette’s return.

I picked one up at the Broadway Flea Market for $20.

Oh wow, I didn't even know this existed. I'm not a frequent visitor to merch stands. Would happily take one off someone's hands for a reasonable price if they'd like to part with one, PM me!
It is a beautiful souvenir program. If I remember correctly, they were $40 when I got them - one for me, and one for a friend. When BP was in the show, they were still being sold, and had 3-4 page full color insert.
When I saw the show again after Bette came back, I believe they were $75, or higher.
I seem to recall some folks here were complaining they were way too expensive at $40, but I bought them anyways. I actually have two different ones of these: one is from Broadway (with a Bernadette Peters insert that would over go the Bette Midler inside page) and one from the tour (with Betty Buckley, and it’s her actual pic on the inside and not an insert). I saw Bernadette, Bette, and Betty in that order. Glad to have these little souvenir programs!
