Well we know she isn't going to headline an entire tour of DOLLY so I suppose it would have to be a situation in which the otherwise contracted Dolly agreed to step aside so she could play the L.A. engagement. I suppose that is possible, but I would think that would also make the role a lot less viable to whatever name they've approached to do the rest of the tour.

Also Lin Manuel Miranda did the LA stop of the In the Heights tour at the Pantages.

But you know....the tour is going to be a step down from Broadway. I bet they lose some ensemble members, and shrink the orchestra. I doubt Ms. Midler is going to go for that. I bet she just lets the "Hello Dolly" section of her upcoming tour be her chance to let the rest of the country see her in the part.

With a 3 week run, it seems unlikely. However, it's curious that the Pantages doesn't have a big seller to entice subscription renewals.

I was hoping. However, when I saw it was only a 3 week run, my hopes were dashed. Too much of the 3 week run is sold to subscribers to sell high $$ single tickets it would probably need to for Bette.
Maybe if it plays San Francisco, too, she'll do it. It hasn't been stated where the tour is starting.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
All the local media is using her red dress picture to announce the Pantages engagement. The LA times does put in small letters that casting has yet to be announced. But you know that a lot of people are just going to see Bette's picture and go by that.
A poster on TalkinBroadway claims that Dolly on tour will be played by Reba McEntire, which would be a lot more fun and interesting to me than Christine Ebersole.
Of course it could be a totally bogus post, but I like the idea of it.

I am so angry right now that you could stir-fry vegetables on the back of my neck! I called about getting tickets to LA Buckley in Hello, Dolly! at the Pantages, and was told they were subscription only. What the actual <<edited by BWW staff>>?? I never heard of such a thing as that.
So only well to do people can enjoy theater. I find this very, very sad.
I think what they meant is that right now the only tickets they're selling are subscriptions. Tickets for HELLO, DOLLY haven't gone on sale to the general public. According to the Ticketmaster website, the pre-sale doesn't happen till the end of October.

Dont worry! They do this so scalpers cant buy all the tickets right away. Keep an eye on their social media, tickets for the public will probally go on sale after October . They did this with Aladdin last year. :)
