Still my favorite song, and favorite scene, in the entire show. It brings me to a gigantic ear-to-ear smile with tears of joy every single time. Can’t wait to see this tour again and again.

The cast is very talented and Yehezkel Lazarov is a perfect Tevye. I was very impressed and I’m possibly going to try and go back once more before they leave on Sunday to see it again.
The show, the score, and the message remain very real and definitely stands the test of time."

^ ^ ^ Thank you! It’s a shame that the tour can’t do everything the Broadway production did as far as special effects and rigging. But like you said, and with Bartlett Sher at the helm, hopefully it will still be very good. :)

I’ve read this referenced a couple of times before, but having never seen the movie or any other adaptation of the show, don’t quite grasp what this means, especially the latter.
Well, this has now wrapped up a short run in Syracuse. Anyone catch it while it was there?
Next stops are Philadelphia (10/23-28), Buffalo (10/30-11/4), Hartford (11/6-11), and Baltimore (11/13-18) before it hits Pittsburgh in less than a month (11/20-25).
I started looking for a recording to listen to, any recommendations? I found the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and the 1964 OBCR. Any other ideas?
The theater door opening, and the 1pm Sunday matinee show, all happened 15 minutes later than normal. No reason or announcements were made as to the reason why. The biggest pre-show disappointment was that the sound folks had decided to place a giant, elongated speaker that all but covered the double-eagle crest at the top of the front stage design. It was visible from

At the show now waiting for the theater doors to open. No window card (booooooo) but lots of other very nice things. The music box looks exquisite. Did buy the magnet and souvenir program book.

I wish I had been able to see Donna Murphy. I have a cat at home that I really can’t leave for more than 36-40hrs, it gets lonely. My neighbor feeds it wet food several times while I’m go
sbflyfan said: "You're right... I forgot about that dialogue. I think I'm confusing it with another production I saw. I'm also not used to "Penny In My Pocket" starting act 2.
Thanks for clarifying! :)"
You’re welcome! That’s pretty much exactly the way it happened when I saw the two shows in Cleveland as well as the two on Broadway. And “Penny In My Pocket” started Act 2 on both
sbflyfansaid: "Perhaps someone else already mentioned this, but I don't remember. Regarding "Elegance" - the main show curtain rose on the four characters already center stage, and after just a few bars, they launched into the song. No introduction or walking on in time to the music. Is that how the scene started in the Broadway staging?"
LizzieCurry said: "Has anyone here actually been slamming the show, though? Or just her?
(I'm going to see it next month, but I'm not going for her, so it's a moot point to me...)"
Betty Buckley and the touring production of “Hello, Dolly!” have both been negatively commented on or had doubts cast, whether it’s the staging and orchestra, or the title person. This started even before the first pr
BuddyStarr said: "This reminds me of a production of Funny Girl..."
But when YOU saw this show with Betty Buckley in it, whether it was in Utica or Cleveland, did YOU enjoy the show? As YOU were sitting there at the performances in Utica or Cleveland, what is it in Betty Buckley’s performance that YOU witnessed that she co
RemlapLBC said: "We are debating putting our subscription seats at the Hollywood Pantages up for sale. Nothing against Betty Buckley, but we made a trip to NYC when Bette returned and that evening was fantastic. Yes, it was the "Bette Show" however, I'm not sure if I want to see the scaled back touring company (sets/props, etc, not actors) less than a year later."
I saw the show twice on Broadway: Bernadette Peters on May 30th
