Is this going to go straight on sale with the announcement like Sunday In The Park?.

How long will the run of Hello Dolly be at the Adelphi? Through the holidays of 2020?

Hoping this is the recent Broadway production. I don't think it can be bettered in terms of design and production values. Maybe Patti can replace and do the role over in England since she loves London so much and also since apparently Jerry Herman has barred her from doing it in the States. I love Imelda and love the idea of her doing this great classic role - let's not forget before she was a musical comedy heroine, Dolly was one of those great 'straight' female roles (The Matchmaker) - and why not? Patti was banned from doing Dolly in the States? Really? I know she was banned by Arthur Laurents from doing Gypsy for a number of years (until they reconciled), but I have never heard about Herman banning her from Dolly. Where did you read this please? |

I fully expect Dolly to run 6 months and then Back to the Future moves in early 2021

Stage is set is a fairly common phrase too.

I am quite shocked Waitress is closing so soon, didn't it run for years on Broadway?
I haven't seen it as I didn't like the movie, is it worth catching before it goes?

I know she was banned by Arthur Laurents from doing Gypsy for a number of years (until they reconciled), but I have never heard about Herman banning her from Dolly. Where did you read this please? Well I guess banned is a strong word. He has never encouraged her attachment to the project. She was rumoured to do a revival in 2011 with direction by Jack O'Brien, but Herman vetoed the production because it would not have featured the original direction/choreography (as the recent revival did)... Then she was suggested as a replacement for the recent revival and she publicly stated that Herman perceived her as being too 'ethnic' (Italian I guess?) for the role. So I don't think he thinks she's a good fit. But to me she's the most obvious choice and would be a RIOT in the role. |

This maybe further hijacking of this thread by the Julia McKenzie fan club but because for me that’s more than enough of a reason to share the production shots of arguably the finest/darkest Into The Woods that ever there was. #SorryNotSorry postimg.cc/gallery/232spb1fu/Im always here for a hijacking if its to talk about this production! The few videos and pictures and stories about this version sound so unique and we never get redirected transfers or reimaginaitons quite like this very often also very excited for Dolly to finally come over, wouldn't be thrilled if it was Imelda (I do like her but just not who I would cast), perhaps we will have a Tuesday alternate too? I doubt Imelda would ever let someone else do one of her shows. She's an all or nothing type of performer |

Does it not belong in the performers section though? Just wondering why it’s been left in the musicals department. Edit: I see this is explained in said thread... |

WOW! Amazing for Imelda.
Was only thinking today who could take over from Olivia.
Wonder if Baz will have anymore of Imelda's work schedule tonight?
