HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  Apr 29 2018, 05:48:44 PM

I’m sorry for my confusion; is Gavin coming back to the show when Bette returns or sooner as originally intended? 

 



HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17  Apr 28 2018, 10:11:32 AM

That happened to me...just keep clicking the buy button for the seat you selected...it will go through.

I refreshed about 5 times or more.

Got my seat for the last performance (We hope....)

Rows A-E in the Mezz are all $229; center, right and left.... then $189 and $169 thereafter.

There were large sections of the orchestra and mezz not available (I was on right at 10am) .. they have definitely pulled seats, reserved for certain people invited, most likely.



Hello Dolly Cast Album  Apr 13 2018, 12:26:24 PM

All DOLLY albums are wonderful in their own way.  I agree, Bette's album often lacks the energy and natural impulse that was seen/heard on the stage -- in certain spots.  You could argue that a cast recording is not the same as live performance in full swing, however, the other Dolly recordings prove that energy can be carried through a microphone.  That said: I listen to the Bette cast every day.

The Bailey/Calloway recording is a treasure to have as it was recorded


CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD (2018) Previews  Apr 1 2018, 11:07:12 AM

I saw the show last evening.  I truly enjoyed myself.  The play - as written- is an intriguing look at the themes in which the playwright is asking us to explore.  It's set in the late 70's/ early 80's (approximately) but I did not feel it was "out dated" or "slow" due to this.  The core thematic elements of the story are relevant and timeless, and we watch the relationships evolve (and unravel) due to the interpersonal obstacles they face.<

I donated to BCEFA on tuesday and picked out the crystal star brooch that Bernadette wears in Act 2. My partner bought one too, unbeknownst to me...now we have two.

I was happy to donate regardless, but we don't need two.

If anyone would like to purchase the brooch from me, send a pm.

Thought I'd throw it out there!

So my partner actually purchased the same Dolly pin when he attended last night. He thought I donated for a different one. Its the crystal starfish Bernadette wears. 

If anyone is interested in purchasing it from me,  drop a line. We don't need two..

I'm going to PM you...

It's stunning. I saw the show a few weeks back. And I know I saw the starfish ...but I can't remember which scdne and where.....

Thanks, everyone!

I donated and chose the starfish. It's lovely.

Does Dolly auction off the big ticket items or are they for regular purchase in the back? I might want the earrings or pin...

msmp said: "The guy manning the credit card iPad last night said they still had a few weeks left. I don't think they stop until close to Easter Bonnet itself, which is like the 22nd of April this year?"

Thank you. I've seen the show multiple times. Has anyone ever slipped in the door to donate for an item? I don't think they check.

Are they still collecting or is the period over?

NJ_BroadwayGirl said: "Can anyone speak to the view from the side orchestra outside aisles? Thanks!"

I sat Orchestra E 17. The last seat on the far outer aisle. That's 7 rows back (there is an extra A row). I had a full view and missed nothing, except the house was cut off at stage left. Therefore, I only missed entrances/exits, if anything. 

Slight more action on stage right, however, the blocking allows for constant movement so it shouldn't be a

I just came back from this evenings performance. The two cut numbers at the top of ACT II were re-instated this evening.

  I can't go into elaborate detail on the immediate, but I will say that it's clear what many have been saying about this production.  I went in with an open mind.  There is much to say about the show and it's many themes, etc.  I will share my thoughts on that later on in more detail.

Just some thoughts on what I felt stood out

We were out in Shubert Alley by 4:40pm. So, yes...

For anyone who is interested: they are still selling the "Bette" souvenir program, however,  they've put a fold-out insert into the front with several photos of Bernadette. Also icluded is another insert with the current cast credits, etc. 

Bernadette was sublime. Absolutely sublime.

Looks like Arlene Dahl on Meth. Terrible.
