I heard that at some of her recent concerts she has been singing "Omar Sharif" from the Band's Visit. Has anyone heard her do it?

So sad to see this production close, was looking forward to seeing the many great Dollys yet to come! Will definitely try to get back again for Bette, do we think Donna Murphy will return to Tuesday nights (or maybe another Broadway name?) or will they just not have a show on Tuesday?

Does anyone know anything about this site? It seems legitimate, but I haven't heard anything. Seems like a good replacement for tix4students since that site shut down last year.

Goldie Hawn would be a perfect Dolly! With Kurt Russell as her Horace? @Scott Rudin please make it happen!

I agree with so much mpkie said! I luckily paid $50 for a student seat in the middle of the orchestra on the morning of! There were 2 moments where I felt the soloists were overpowered, in the finales of both act one and two. They sang additional songs from all of the featured composers except Jason Robert Brown, which was very disappointing as I would've loved to hear some of the performers tackle some of his catalogue, especially Bridges and L5Y. I 100% agree that Michael Arden was the standou
So...is Broadway not dimming its lights for Jan Maxwell Feb 17

I think much of the reasoning behind dimming for Joan was not just her limited Broadway work, but her lifetime commitment to supporting the theater and being an advocate of the community. I think the honor was justified, although I do understand why people may disagree.
Jan Maxwell, however, unquestionably is deserving of the honor. I think it is a total disgrace that the Broadway League doesn't feel the same way. She was truly a Broadway star, and will be greatly missed. I hope, like J

I would LOVE to see a revival of this with Alex Bornstein. I also think Julia Louis Dreyfuss could be an interesting choice! I have been trying to find the script for "Sally Marr..." for years, in dying to

Ooooh, I never knew that! However this was supposed to be at Sag Harbor (where she did Grey Gardens) circa 2013. A friend of mines family is a donor and was told there were in talks to do a production with Betty as Sweeney.
Patti LuPone and Ben Platt to Perform at Grammys Jan 5
2018, 09:52:29 AM
The wording in a different article made it sound as if LuPone were singing it as a way to welcome the Grammy's to NYC and not as part of this tribute which I thought was interesting. Maybe it was a bait and switch to get her involved.
I went on December 14th which was a Thursday, I got there at 9:15 and was 11th in line and got the last SRO ticket. Two of my friends went on Saturday the 16th, they got there at 8 AM and were 3rd and 4th in line. So I think if you show up around 8-8:15 you should be fine.
