No.  That’s another musical.

That was completely unnecessary and uncalled for.

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.

If that were true, you wouldn't have time to slowly dissect why a revival of a Broadway show isn't moving you on a message board while simultaneously winding up the people who are getting a lot of joy out of it.

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!

Did anyone know that Jerry Herman wrote the theme song for a Barney film, performed by Bernadette Peters?

How hilarious.

It's a cute tune.
