Well, Charlie Stemp told me he's enjoying every minute of it!

I think he meant every moment of Dolly eating the food while they stand there!

He also told you to stay away from him. So your the dude in the red shirt?"

Hold on. Do we know if Dollypop is a man? From another poster's perspective, he/she comes off as being exceptionally warm and gratious about this entire revival, which would make me believe Dollypop is a woman. But if he's a man, then it's really more of a shock for me!

Not only is he enjoying his time on Broadway, but he's enjoying watching Bernadette in the Docket scene

Yes, DollyPop is a man.  I met him 9-10 years ago at one of the Broadway Cares EFA Flea Markets.  He was very nice.

Neal, you promised not to tell...

Dollypop, you had mentioned that Jerry Herman’s house in Florida was being worked on and that he would be in New York this summer. Is he finally coming to the show?

His doctors advised against the move. He's 85 years old now and HIV+

This revival is like gay musical theater heaven, why would this gendered silliness make any sense here?!

I don't think it makes sense anywhere, but especially here?!

Oh I am sorry he won’t be able to experience this revival.

Seeing the clip of her last curtain call and bow brought back the most amazing memories, a HUGE smile on my face, and tears to my eyes. Soooo amazing. Glad to have seen her perform. Absolutely fabulous!!!

I mean, I have seen a regional production of Hello, Dolly!, and the tour is coming to my city, but quite honestly, I'm Dollied out, y'all! This may be sacrilegious, but I don't even think Hello, Dolly! is Jerry Herman's best score (that, IMO, belongs to Mame.) Anyway, the hype surrounding this revival always revolved around Bette Midler being in it, and that is that. Like so many other posters have said, this revival probably wouldn't have happened without her involvement. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I am just not the biggest fan of Hello, Dolly! (sorry Dollypop )

From these accounts, it seems like there was even more energy at the final performance than the first. Don't know how that could have been possible! Goodbye, Bernadette! Stunning performance, great reviews, good business, happy audiences. Apparently a great experience for you. Very successful run. Thank you to all involved.

I just don't understand how anyone can be "Dolliesd out"

I just bought tickets for my 89th time and as my birthday falls on a Wednesday, I'll be doing a DOLLY Double-header. That'll bring me up to 91.

Are you going to be able to reach 100 by the end? Also, I'm curious to know who your favorite Dolly has been (this revival and all time)?

+1

 

And CONGRATULATIONS on your amazing feat. I would have only seen it three times by the first week of October. So psyched to see how the tour compares.

Umm, maybe some of us have... lives? Sorry to break it to you, Dollypop, but... I think the hype/reviews for this revival have limited my overall enjoyment of the piece (which has also been soured, I guess!) It's great that you have such a special connection to this show, Dollypop, but for me, I guess the parade passed by a long time ago

Oh gurl... we get it.  You don’t need to say it again .  Stop being so bitter and let others enjoy.  Enjoy the show as much as you can Dollypop!

Your love for this show through the decades is something I have so much admiration for. The DOLLY! glow is truly matchless! I hope we can all find something so good in our lives to have such passion for

Maybe your parade did pass by. Such a shame. And I have a life, and would still watch this over and over again if I could as well, with a long history of legends performing the role in which Dollypop has seen. Can’t wait to see the show again and again next month and in October. This revival was simply amazing, and the best time I’ve had at a musical in my life.
