Sumptuous is a great word for this production. The many lovely painted drops used in the NY Shubert production are now part of the tour - I assume that the same drops are being used. Though the scrolling Act 2 pre-Harmonia Gardens drop is now in 3 separate pieces, it is still enchanting.
I gently cried when the glorious train arrived in Yonkers during Put On Your Sunday Clothes. What a joyful scene.
Have played the $25 lottery all week. It's a popular lottery, as I have succeeded just once out of 4 attempts. Wednesday night's seat was dress circle on the side - which meant missing out on Vandergelder's booth at Harmonia Gardens.
What a cast! Strong voices and beautiful dancing.
There is definitely less cascading audience laughter with Buckley in the lead, yet I strongly appreciated hearing the script's nuances with Buckley's warm delivery. I never felt that Midler's Dolly was a widow. But you definitely share in Buckley's Dolly's widow grief. More tears from me!

Still my favorite song, and favorite scene, in the entire show. It brings me to a gigantic ear-to-ear smile with tears of joy every single time. Can’t wait to see this tour again and again.
