Is it time for a mass exodus from Broadway World?  May 10 2018, 07:05:59 PM

The exodus already happened a while ago. As someone said in one of the Dolly threads; it’s the same 5 queens posting over and over again.

For all the obvious reasons, there is no signage at the Shubert Theatre announcing Bette's return. This wouldimpact current ticket sales for performances with Bernadette Petersas well as disrespecting the current cast in the show.

This was also the case when Bernadette Peters was announced. All the signage and advertisementwith her name didn't

Just curious as to if there is any signage for Bette’s return in the theater?

He would be great.

CATSNYrevival said: "I agree about Douglas. He’s too young. Betty is in her 70s. Granted, Bette and Bernadette are in their 70s as well. The difference is Betty looks her age."

I also think he might be too young.  But not that young.  Have you seen him lately?  ( and I don’t mean that in a shady way)    I heard he was made a offer from a Adams Famiky cast mate.  But a offer does not mean anything.  



Santino leaving Dolly?  May 5 2018, 03:55:45 PM

EthelMae said: "Just read your post, DAME. I thought it was just me. I liked him OK, but this was my first exposure to Mr. Fontana and I had heard he was wonderful in other shows so I was looking forward to seeing him. His voice is fine but I did find him lacking. To the point that I didn’t understand why the producers didn’t just leave the understudy on until Gavin Creel returned. There must have been a reason. I thought his scene before It Only Takes a Moment went on to

Betty Buckley "DOLLY" opening in Cleveland/ Casting News ?  May 5 2018, 03:28:27 PM

Steve C. said: "Any news yet on complete cast? I can't find anything online; opens in October..."

They probably won’t cast till Late August.   Too early.  But I heard Douglas Sills has been made a offer.

I like him.  But he is bland in this show.  Don’t beat yourself  up if you miss him in this.

Would anybody with access to the NYT Sunday print edition kindly post all the ads touting the tony nominees? They are always fun to see.

AEA AGMA SM said: "I actually think this is a show that would benefit greatly from being in a smaller space. In undergrad I used it for one of my scene design projects and did it in our studio theatre as a 3/4 thrust and put prison bars behind the seating sections to make the entire theatre the prison."

Oh god no!  Please not another paired down broadway revival.  This show was big ,magical , and very theatrical .  That’s the way I want it.

Mister Matt said: "I love the score, but when I saw the tour with Chita, I really hated the staging. With all the bars, panels, spots, projections and lasers, I found it to be a visual mess and at times, had difficulty finding the actors on stage or knowing where to look. I was also disappointed in the choreography andthought the end scenewas rather trite. It was great hearing the score performed live and there were a few effective numbers here and there with Gimme Love being the une

Kiss Of The Spider Woman 25th Anniversary  May 2 2018, 03:10:31 PM

I saw this multiple times on broadway and on tour with Chita and Vanessa. Spectacular show . The tour was a little miscast with John Dosset but he was wonderful.  Way overdue for a broadway revival .

They are all over social media since Bette left.  But there was some towards the end of her run as well.

haterobics said: "EthelMae said: "I know we've discussed this to death here but... what do you all really think?- will it close on Saturday, August 25th?"

6 weeks just seems such a short period of time to begin with, it doesn't really make sense to add a few more weeks later. If it were for a few months, then sure, but only 42 performances is such a specific chunk of time, it just makes me think that is it.

Which is why I think


Ticket master question  Apr 28 2018, 06:48:00 PM

Stage Door Sally said: "Dollypop said: "Wasn't aware that Ticketmaster had crashed."

It was Telecharge and when itcrashed the agent I was speaking with said there were no seats showing up as available for 8/25 at 8 p.m. (I had chosen two tickets online but the site wouldn't let me finish my order.) This was like at 10:07. Before I could muster up a panic attack, my husband walked by and said, get the matinee, I'd rather go then. Relief. So, I
