HELLO, DOLLY! Previews |
Her costume looks lovely and the original Gower Champion choreography is being used for the photo which is perfect.
Count me in as being excited for this!
Odd that they haven't yet released a photo of the cover of the Playbill, no?
They really have been keeping a tight lid on this. The entire company has been mostly silent on social media as far as I can tell. I hope this is fabulous. So excited.
It is odd that the Playbill hasn't been released, but I'm guessing it will just be the poster they've been using. But with Rudin, you never know.
Anyone associated with the show has been told to keep a lid on it until later on this week. So I have to give them all credit for following through....

They want to keep their jobs!
It's so refreshing - like the old days. No BS press crap with the cast doing crap in rehearsal clothes (the single worst promotional idea EVER), no interviews, no tub-thumping - no "official press release" crap every three minutes - they're just doing - now wait for it - their jobs, privately the way it was ALWAYS done until Broadway decided to become the movie business. Kudos to the team and producers of Dolly and all shows should learn from it - or, to put it as Peter Allen did: Everything old is new again.

??? God forbid shows advertise themselves
The show is actually advertising everywhere. In newspapers and television on the Internet. There are huge banners on all the light posts in the theater district. But Scott Rudin is doing a great job of keeping what's going on inside a much anticipated secret event, and based on the clamor here to get into the dress rehearsal, he's doing a fantastic job!
Looks like it's intermission at the invited dress. I have a few Facebook friends that are there and reactions thus far are incredibly positive.

I did ask a friend who is going tonight to give me a report! He also asked at the box office if they plan on doing standing room for the production and was told they probably will eventually but do not have a policy right now.

I got a ticket to a matinee performance in May - the box office stated that Midler would be on. I'm SOOOO excited!

It's not a page, just the location tag. It's still up!
Song list? Were any songs from the movie or any of Ethel's added songs included? Also, I know most aren't expecting it, but any word on any rush or lottery policies for this?
No songs from the movie. No added songs that were added for Ethel Merman. At the top of Act 2 there is a surprise.
I was there as well. I don't want to report on the actual production until after the first preview tomorrow as a courtesy to the production. But I'll talk about tonight specific stuff, and tonight was an event! It seemed like the whole industry was there tonight. Everyone there really wanted to be there, a solid minute of entrance applause for Bette (David, Kate and Gavin got it as well, but on more of a normal scale) and there were standing ovations after the Waiters and the title song. Bette dropped lines twice and called for it, turned to the audience, made a joke both times about it having to do with her bag and then went on, she handled it with class.
