I only listen to the new Broadway recording for the Kate Baldwin and Gavin Creel material. Otherwise I listen to the Pearl Bailey recording, which is full of charm but also great vocal performances too.

Kate and Gavin were so utterly perfect in the Broadway revival

Anyone else having issues signing up for the pre-sale? The sign-up link in the email doesn't work, so you go directly to the website and follow the sign-up link from within there. After entering your details and hitting the button, the browser gives no clue that anything is happening, then after about 30 seconds, the screen changes to "Sign up here for Hello, Dolly! pre-sale access at The London Palladium" but there's little else on that screen. I presume that was message was meant to tell me I had successfully registered, but it's been miscoded. So, I've no idea whether I have successfully registered or not. Repeating the process gives the same result, not even a "You are already registered" error. It never ceases to amaze me how many businesses put web changes into the public domain without doing full testing. It worked OK for me 🤷♂️ Maybe it's just volume of traffic or something |

That’s all I got . |

That’s all I got . - I signed up earlier and got no confirmation email (checked junk/bin folders and nothing there either) as well. Tried twice and same response. I am just hoping it went through ok. |

I seemed to be plagued by IT bugs today. Placed an order for ten tickets (five shows x two adults) with the National and they have sent me an email with an attachment containing just one ticket.
The amount of admin time I seem to spend sorting out all manner of issues with companies whose IT is not up to scratch could be a full-time job.

Thank you for your reply, I got the same result, a lack of confirmation , so I’m hoping for the same as yourself. I got an email link as a previous ticket purchaser but it doesn’t seem to have worked somehow . |

Ah! We're we meant to get a confirmation e mail that we had signed up? I didn't get anything either, just presumed that you filled in your details, sent it off and that was that.
I'm a bit worried now.

I'm a bit worried now. It could well be that we’re meant to just wait for further information… it does say to watch your in box , so maybe if we’ve got that far , we’re on the radar . That’s what I’m hoping anyway . |

I’d say having a good voice is not at all trivial IN A MUSICAL! And how often do people with terrible voices win Olivier Awards, get nominated 2 other times, as well as being nominated for a Drama Desk Award and the coveted Tony award, and all for being IN A MUSICAL? |

Jenna Russell - who's voice is nice, but not typically what you expect from an Irene Malloy (along with her age) and hence why people are questioning her casting

Jenna Russell is very odd casting to me. Not a natural fit at all.

I’d have been looking at Laura Pitt Pulford or Celinde Schoenmaker as Irene personally

Professional UK productions of Hello, Dolly! are so few and far between I'm not sure how anyone knows what a typical Irene Malloy should be.

I’m seeing an empty stage, lots of side lighting, some onstage camerrrrras, and, in the the title number, Dolly descending covered in the blood of her fox fur, and the ensemble facing away from her whilst monotoning “Hello”. The lighting will reduce and reduce over the course of the show. The curtain call will be solemn, and Imelda will be refused a bow. Instead, the Ensemble will simply point at her. Dominic Cooke will be arraigned for stealing Lloyd’s vision. Lloyd will have already been arraigned for stealing van Hove’s. 5 stars. Just looked at her website and her work certainly seems very muted and dark. Not typically Dolly LOL!!!!!!!!!! |

Maybe Jamie Lloyd will direct this too and have Imelda in only a bra and panties to symbolize Dolly’s vulnerability and Harmonia Gardens will be filled with people bleeding from the eyes and fire all around them to envision the restaurant (and all of its patrons) is in Hell. Haha. Count me in. |
