People that think they are holding tix to see Bette,are going to be pissed!

Her performance dates just went on sale, with red lettering saying that "At this performance the role of Dolly Levi will be played by Donna Murphy."

I couldn't be more thrilled! I saw Donna so many times during the original run and I'll be back over and over again for these last few shows.

I loved Donna in the role and her voice was certainly very strong. I may have to buy a ticket.

None of those dates were put on sale for Bette earlier, so will only affect people who don't pay attention or buy secondhand tickets.

Murphy's performances are Sunday matinees that are being added to the schedule so the show has 8 performances a week when Bette returns. And Better still gets the final show as Murphy will do a Monday evening for the final week.

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 will be starting up in Somerville, NJ on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3) and is now then touring throughout Japan August & September 2018. Japan schedule: Tokyo(Aug 15-21), Kanagawa(Aug 28-29), Shizuoka(Aug 30), Osaka(Aug 31 - Sept 2).

They probably don't need it, it's such a short run. Announcing it in the press and on social should have done the trick. (And maybe they don't want to kill Bernadette's sales by advertising it a ton more than a few weeks out)

wish i were here2

Wow. Did not expect that. Seeing Bette one last time but I gotta hear Donna's last note again in Before the Parade Passes By. Loved Bette and Bernadette but they didn't hit that exciting note as the curtain falls on Act I.

Can someone please pay to get Bernadette Peters and Donna Murphy into the record studio to record over the original tracks? This moment of Broadway history cannot just fade away!

"It’s the fractured quality in [Bernadette Peters'] singing voice and line readings that puts across the character as someone for whom resentment is sliding into madness." - NYtimes on Follies (2011).
