So tired of hearing Betty is cold , Betty has no warmth....blah blah.. was she cold in the Movie Carrie...was she cold on Eight is enough .. nope....she is an actress and a really great actress...(watch Split or Preacher) I think everyone seems to think of her as NORMA DESMOND. She will be a great Dolly..different from the others as it should be...Look at the production picture of how happy and beautiful she looks,,,,not to mention that voice....
I have to very strongly disagree with this , having seen Andrea in numerous regional productions and her cabaret act, She still has the "it" factor and the voice has aged beautifully and is crystal clear.... She is funny and very warm in her cabaret act...and she was a great DOLLY and MAME.
She also is a take no crap kind of person which is to be greatly admired and I think that can hinder you in the business... How many Broadway people have a signature song..
I "chatted with him one night on youtube page he told me he was helping people through God..i said how much I enjoyed his Starlight he was very grateful
I had posted that I loved his version and he responded and started the conversation a good man!
I saw it Saturday night. I was in row C (too close I think ) but I thought Bernadette was great no she is not Bette but who is..>Bernadette is still incredible and funny and her voice sounded great... I did however hate the eating scene that went on way to long and was not really funny after about 5 miuntes...Bette did do this better... Victor was not great...his singing voice is not great...and hit a not during Penny in my Pocket that made you cringe,,..I loved DHP in this and I don't
Hi I was in row C orchestra (it is actually the 2nd row....) my neck hurt after from looking up...you also don't get the visual of all the costumes from that close....go back about 10 rows I think!
I remember this show very well I saw Tyne in it 5x (including the comeback at the marquis where I sat next to some of the "directors" who were talking and writing what she Tyne was doing right and wrong and had to tell them to shut up) Tyne was amazing one of the best performances I have ever seen. When Linda took over originally I thought great choice...when I went to see it she was just bad..her voice was bad her strange irish accent was very odd...and it felt like the
VintageSnarker I don't agree because adding 5 to 8 inches on the top of your head can be avoided.. Being taller than the person behind you is not avoidable....It might as well have been a beehive for the gentleman who sat behind her ..he was short had she had the hair down he would have seen fine...just my opinion!!! back in the 80s in London a older woman tapped me on the shoulders and said "your hair is in my way...it was short but spiked up, so I always remember that..
Saturday night I was at Hello Dolly and I could not believe the way people act now in theaters.
a family of 7 were behind me and before the show started the two boys actually started throwing punches at each other and the Mom< who instigated it seemed to think it was funny, the little girl was whining about not being able to see so I suggested to get booster seats...which caused another "crisis" the poor little girls bum hurts...again Mom made a snide remark...and the girl
I went Saturday night row M-10/12/14 views were fine don't miss anything...the show was amazing Bette was Bette and killed it and I have never smiled so much during a show...amazing. David Hyde Pierce was just as good as were the supporting charactes..I LOVE Kate Baldwins voice ..started off low and boom hit every not possible..so underrated amazing..the colors and sets ..this show is a 10 plus 10 it is so good...now my only complaints...the audience...WHY WOULD YOU WEAR YOUR
I saw this on Saturday night it was still an amazing night in the theater...(I do admit I do miss the sets) but the cast makes up for the lack of sets...All the leads were fantastic in my opinion /Joe and Betty were the best I have seen and I last night was the 7th time I have seen this show. Having seen Glenn 20 years ago in this and I always said she started off crazy and there was no where to go but crazy..now she slowly decends into hell...(very much like the Betty Buckley per
Saw her last Wednesday night. She was quite good. for her first night...I have seen Brook Shields/Melanie Griffith -who was really fun- / Belle Calloway ..the best/ Bebe as Roxie- strange//Bianca and also /Maria Friedman in London....Mel doesn't have a strong voice at all which is ok for Roxie , but she harmonized really well...she was funny and cute and also got all the laughs...her accent is still there which is funny...I liked her and the show looked good for such
Faith Prince is a Vera...and would be a very good one...she really doesn't have the Mame quality at least I have never seen it...always great as a 2nd lead though
