VACATION TIME-DOLLY — Page 2

I'm seeing the show tonight for the first time after buying the tickets, geez probably some time last year. It sucks but it is what it is.

Oh no, Broadway Joe! Don't feel that way at all! All these comments are just opinions. The understudy is just fine. The show still shined last night! And you will have a great time! Guaranteed!

Everyone is entitled to express however they feel about an understudy, that's a consumer's right and prerogative. But when I read a sentence about Nathan Madden being ...."a decent actor..." - I have to speak up...You should've seen him go as jerry Mulligan in An American in Paris...I saw him go on several times....he was brilliant...flawless in a very difficult role. Perhaps Cornelius isn't a role he can flourish in quite like in AAIP, or maybe he's just getting used to the role, but I'm just saying you guys should've seen him go on as Jerry Mulligan in American In Paris at the Palace Theatre.

Is there any way to know these other actors' vacation schedules in advance, as we know Midler's? I'm thinking of seeing this show in September with Murphy, but would want to know if DHY, GC and the others will be in the performance, as well.

Let me explain a little more. I'm sure he's a great actor, but seeing him as Cornelius didn't seem to be his best role. To me, his performance was decently good.

Looks like Gavin is in, my playbill only has an insert saying that Stanley will be played by Nathan Keen.

He was great, I really enjoyed the show. My only complaint was there is such little leg room in the balcony but thats not the shows fault lol

So glad Gavin isn't on vacation this week. I'm going back for my third time Saturday night, this time surprising my 69 year-old mom who worships Bette and has never been to NYC let alone Broadway. My 11 year-old nephew is coming too (another great thing about Dolly. I know he'll love it too).

I'm like others on here. When I fall in love with a show, I'll go back time and time again. And when I try other shows, I'm often sitting there the whole time thinking about how I wished I was at the other show :).

Can't wait for my mom's reaction!

When I did branch out recently, I came up dry- Groundhog Day- which I hated and Indecent, which for all the good intentions and word of mouth, I found fine but not great. So, I run back to Dolly!

There's a lot of good shows including off-Broadway shows. Have you seen Waitress? Government Inspector?
