Forgotten Hollywood

Manny P. here… 

“`Bette Midler, also known as the Divine Miss M, is returning to the Tony Award-winning revival of  Hello Dolly! on July 17th. It is a six-week run that continues until August 25th.

“`Midler has lured previous co-stars David Hyde Pierce and Gavin Creel. Pierce earned a Tony nomination in the show, and Creel won a Tony.  Tickets for the reunited cast’s final shows goes on sale on April 28th.

“`This iconic role of Dolly Levi marks Midler’s return to the Broadway stage, and previously, she shattered box office records at the Shubert Theatre. She won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. Midler stepped into the role last Spring, and she ended her run in mid-January. Bernadette Peters replaced her, and will now leave after the July 15th show.

“`The musical features Put On Your Sunday Clothes, Before the Parade Passes By, and So Long Dearie. It promises a divine score.

“`The national tour of Hello Dolly! kicks off in October at Playhouse Square in Cleveland, starring Tony Award-winner Betty Buckley.

Until next time>                               “never forget”
