I wear to bejesus... the only reason I went to see MY FAIR LADY was to hear the first 8 notes of the overture and the old couple behind me got into the hearing aid discussion the second it began... Several other people gave them turn backs -- and its a dialogue heavy show. I turned back, and they were like children. They had these, "It wasn't us..." (stare straight ahead) faces. After the third time I turned back, and gave them a cold stare and hel
My wife is on my case for seeing it 10 times (in 6 months.)
What is it about that show?
The first time I saw it I actually didn't like it so much -- that's the crazy thing. (It was two weeks after my mother's funeral, and I was having a hemorrhoid attack.).

OK, here’s the big question: Molly Griggs. Is it the make up and character, or is her stage presence that strong? I really feel she lights up the stage, even when she’s just in the chorus. I’m going to be so disappointed if DOLLY is just a one off for her!!!
I saw Bernadette 9 times, and Donna's last last night. My impression was that Donna was very good -- a different interpretation (bright, cheery, flirtatious), but Bernadette's Dolly is way more intense. I also liked Garber's interpretation. David Hyde Pierce is more of a comedic actor, but Garber stuck with playing Vandergelder as a clueless fool, and it worked better for me. --The thing with Bernadette is she really improvises a lot and is really edgy. &n
I hope this isn’t OT. I tend to go see musicals REPEATEDLY and on the spur when I like them. (Up to viewing 8 of DOLLY w/Bernadette.). Going alone is ok, but it’s nice to have someone/ some folks knowledgeable and/or passionate to gab with at intermission — no drinks or dining before after — that would cut into my ticket budget!!!) Anyway, wondering if there’s any folks within a stones throw of BROADWAY who are up to catching shows.on the spur
