HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17

I too was wondering about the delay but my tickets were emailed to me yesterday.  It will be my 4th time (3rd with Bette) and I am super excited. I just adore this show.

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

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

This was also the case when Bernadette Peters was announced.  All the signage and advertisement with her name didn't go up until after Bette ended her run.

How about at the box office ?  And has there been any local advertising for Bette other than the press release?

I doubt it. They know that Bette's shows will all be sell-outs, so there's no real need to have every house sold out before she's even back.

I logged onto telecharge today to see what was available and I'm surprised that orchestra seats are more well-sold than mezzanine and balcony. In Bette's previous run the mezzanine and balcony were the first to sell out while you could nab orchestra seats on occasion.

Nothing in NYC  Dame and Bette is only doing 7 shows a week no Sunday matinee. Show is dark Sunday and Monday.
