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.

This better be good. I'm paying an arm and a leg to see this in May.

I do still find it odd that their website is still pretty bare. No cast, no extra info. Just basically Midler's name and where to buy tickets.

Right? Like, at least give us a Cast Bios page.

I do hope standing room is offered for this- it was available for The Humans and The Front Page, which were both Rudin productions, and I can't see why they wouldn't try to sell more tickets. I'm not a big enough Dolly or Midler fan to justify paying nearly $80 for the balcony, but I'd happily stand through the show if that ticket were less expensive. It feels like the event of the season.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
