I cannot tell you what it was like during one of the opening previews. It was the most spellbinding and magical evenings of my entire life. I saw a legend. I was stricken with heart palpitations because I could NOT comprehend what I was witnessing. I will never forget this revival.

Agreed - we've been seeing Broadway shows for 30 years now, and have seen some great ones. This was the most enthralling evening of musical theatre either of us had ever seen. Bette always seems to be having such a ball and she brings the audience with her. PS - This MAY have been the actual performance we attended - I think I hear my own voice in the audience cheering!

My brother saw "Hello, Dolly" with Pearl Bailey. He said after the "Hello Dolly" number, the audience's response was so boisterous that they stopped the show, and Pearl did a brief stand up comedy before returning to the show. The audience loved it.

I have been blessed to have seen so many shows on Broadway, but this one will forever stand out in my mind. The opening scene when she first put her head up and everyone in the audience saw her for the first time was electrifying. I’ve never felt such energy in the audience.

I saw Hello Dolly twice in New York as a teenager, once with Ginger Rogers (my God, her energy was huge) and then I saw it with Pearl Baily and Cab Calloway with an all-Black cast. Pearl Bailey had such warmth and charm plus a great singing voice and comedic flair. After the show, she called on stage Loretta Young, the Hollywood actress, who was sitting one row behind me, to come on stage and join her in a song. Later I asked Ms. Young for her autograph. And around the same time, I saw Mame at the Palace Theater, with another famous actress, who is still performing to this day......Angela Landsberry. Around the same time I was grateful to see two other shows, both at the Palace Theater, one was an evening with Marlena Deitrich and the other was an unforgettable Judy Garland concert. So many legends! The one star I actually got to chat with for a few minutes was Marlena Deitrich. In her mid-60's at the time she was still very statuesque and radiant. Talk about charisma!!!! Her grandson and I attended the same college in the States, in the same year.

Bette Midler murdered the divine miss m by 1979 and has given us schlock since. I wasted $150 for this crap just to see how bad she was. She couldn’t be the divine miss m ever again. Barry, Bill Hennessy, jerry boat created a legend out of a mediocre performer. Watch her on David Frost before the guys created the phenomenon that was miss m.

I’ve never found the words to describe how I feel about this musical. I just love it so much. People will try and tell me things wrong with Dolly like the book and the score but all I can tell them is that they just don’t get it. Fabulous people doing fabulous things is just mesmerizing. If you don’t get it now, you probably never will, it’s all about loving people. This show makes me just love people. Even most young LGBTQ+ just have a biological liking for this show. People can say all they want about this show whether it’s 1964 or 3064 you can’t take away what this show did for so many people world wide
