No.  That’s another musical.

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 theparade passed by a long time ago "
 

For the record: I'm am a retiree and, although I am involved in numerous church and community projects, I have plenty of time for HELLO, DOLLY!

It's sad to know you let the parade pass you by (the way they staged it in the movie), but this show is the most life affirming musical that's ever been written. 




That was completely unnecessary and uncalled for.

Amen to this, Dollypop. I've never been able to listen to a cast recording (personal favorite is Mary Martin's) or attend a performance (Bernadette and Donna so far, Bette in August!) without feeling good afterwards no matter what mood I was in before. And both times I've seen it live, I've left the theatre with the biggest grin on my face.

My one regret with this revival is my grandmother, who was a regular attendee during the Pearl Bailey and Ethel Merman runs of the original production, didn't live long enough to see it. She felt very strongly about the Dolly Levi character, and it was one of the first cast recordings she shared with me when I was very little.

Fingers crossed you get to the 100 show milestone before the show closes!
