Do you think she will? I REALLLLLY want to see her in the show and meet her. If not is it going to be near NYC soon?

I doubt it. Wish she could do a one night only concert version of Dolly...it is sure to be better than what I saw at Papermill this afternoon.

Saw her one woman show in NYC about a year ago at BB Kings on 42nd street. It was fabulous!

Papermill`s was bad? I`m going to see it soon! My friend Jonathan Rayson is in it as Cornelius!

Maybe she was just not in full voice this afternoon, but it was painful hearing her sing "So Long Dearie," which is normally my favorite song in the show.

"Ribbons Down My Back," the beginning of "Sunday Clothes," (when Jonathan was singing), and "Motherhood March" were my favorites this time.


Edit: Rath, I was referring to Tovah. I went in with an open mind, and she just didn't do it for me (or my companion).

Those "Goodbyes" in "So Long Dearie" were put in when Gower Champion had the idea of lowering Dolly on a swing and singing "goodbye" at each level until she reached the stage floor. She was attired in a tight bright dress for the number, too. Both the swing and the dress were scrapped in favor of the staging that we're accustomed to today.

No one had any desire to see Channing when she was slated to appear downtown (at downtown prices) in a series devoted to Broadway old-timers--why would they pay top dollar to see her now?

Channing was the only one in the SINGULAR SENSATIONS series that DID sell out.

She may bring her show to NYC, but in a smaller venue than Broadway.

She was marvelous at Feinstein's in October.
