The invited dress is supposed to be tomorrow, but I'm concerned for everyone about that happening with this impending storm.

Have they done any press events? Interviews or snippets from the show?

I'm attending the first preview this Wednesday night and I'll report my thoughts.  Seeing it again a few more times in the next few months to see the evolution of the performances.

Since this is a Scott Rudin production, there won't be any of them.

Rudin sometimes does a Rush policy that is for Previews only. In the past, has the Schubert ever done standing room?

I'm seeing the first preview on Wednesday!! Will report back :)

Yes, the Shubert has standing room spaces and have sold them, including recently for Matilda. Whether they will for Dolly remains to be seen, but for sold out perfs it seems likely, although perhaps not during previews...

The Shubert does indeed have SRO. It was sold frequently during SPAMALOT's first 2 years and the few occasions MEMPHIS was sold-out.

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.
