I will be attending the show this week. Does anyone know if they are still selling the Bette Midler souvenir programs at the theatre?

Yes. It’s the only souvenir program right now. They might now include an insert page with the current cast but the book itself is still the original 2017 Broadway revival production photos with Bette Midler.

Any rumors of a Bernadette program? If not the flashy $45 tome, a more standard one? Here’s hoping!

Doubtful...especially since tix sales aren't fabulous. And they likely wouldn't even consider until Bette's are sold.

In general, there was less merchandise available when I saw the show last month. I wanted to pick up a few more "Holy Cabooses" mugs for my collection and was told they don't carry them anymore.

Hmm, I never even saw a Holy Cabooses mug. I totally would have grabbed one.

I saw Murphy. Wanted something with just the show title but Bette's name wad on it. Luckily it was a BCEFA collection evening and I got the male chorus 2018 calendar.

Oh yes! They are red mugs with "Holy Cabooses!" on one side and "Hello, Dolly!" on the other.

I have six but would like to get another six.

I think five would be enough.

Not if you're serving dinner for 12.

They are not selling merchandise with Bette on them any more. I saw the show in Bernadette's first week, and all had been pulled--including the program book. At that time, I was told they are definitely planning to make a book with photos of Bernadette in it.

Also, keep in mind.  All HELLO, DOLLY! merchandise (including the Bette Midler souvenir program) is available at Theatre Circle Shop (on West 44th Street; a few feet from the St. James Theatre) and One Shubert Alley (a few feet from the Shubert Theatre stage door).  

This also applies to every other Broadway show.  Merchandise isn't just available at each theatre -- these 2 stores carry all show merchandise, including shows long gone.

A few Bette items still remain in their online store:

How much is the Bernadette poster in the theatre? I remember Bette's was rather pricey.

$35 online, probably same in the theater.

Those aren't licensed by the show.

And the ones they are showing on their site are rather hideous.

Seconded. I love that they did the die-cut cover to mimic the design of the original Dolly programs!
