I have a seat in the house left box; furthest seat towards the mezz. Anyone know if the view is pretty good or if I may miss things stage right? I found some ores how pictures that looked like they were from the box, but depth perception...

Those clips are sensational! What a thrill to see her when she was doing it in the 80's and especially the 70's. I would love to know who everyone else in the cast is in both versions.

i'm confused, is this a thread about the train that appears during Put On Your Sunday Clothes?

Glad you enjoyed them. Certainly gave me a thrill.

Just have to comment:

I was at the opening night of HELLO DOLLY! on January 16, 1964. My father was an auto mechanic and one of his clients had show business connections. Through this man we got 3rd row center seats at the outrageous cost of 9.90 per ticket.

I was 17 years old at the time and when Carol stepped off that trolley something inside me changed. To this day I don't know exactly what happened but I do know I was never going to be the same kid I was. I know love factors into this and it's lasted for 53 years.

In that time I've gotten to know both Carol and Jerry Herman and I value them greatly.I saw the original production 74 times and was never less than thrilled each time. I've lost count of how many times I've seen revivals and touring companies.

I was at the 1st preview of the new production and shed so many tears of joy that I thought I'd dehydrate.

Someone who knows me very well said HELLO DOLLY ! is not a show to me. It's my left ventricle. I'll buy that.

Thanks for reading.

If I don't get tickets for next week's opening, it'll be the first one I've missed since 1964. So far, I'm not having much luck--but I just had my tux dry cleaned, just in case.

I saw this show again last Wednesday evening and sadly Bette did not stage door. It was interesting since her car was there outside the SHubert and we all thought the security was joking when they told us Bette is not coming out. They started to take the barricades away and that's when everyone started to leave. The car also left.



"I heard she wasn't feeling well that night and came out much later after everyone left including taking down the barricades outside stage door.

Has anyone sat in this seat? Should I exchange it?

Thanks for any insight! "

I sat in row J seat one which was on the left side. The view was fine. Didn't miss anything.

I watched Matilda from balcony. Up at balcony it is full view but you won't be able to see facial expressions that well. Legroom sucks too unless you have an aisle seat.

Love it.

To those who have access to the NY Times review: take a look at the picture of Bette on the staircase. Doesn't her face look out of proportion? Photoshop anyone?
