| Bernadette was greeted with boisterous applause upon her entrance and the audience clearly adored her throughout the evening. She was a very funny Dolly and looked like she was having a ball finally getting a crack at this iconic role. She flubbed a few lines, but surely after a few more performances she will gain confidence. Her standout numbers were the title song of course and So Long Dearie. I am confident that her scenes with Victor Garber will improve with time but they make a charming pair. Charlie Stemp was terrific and given a solo dance spot in Dancing that was thrilling. Once again impressed with Gavin Creel whose performance is pitch perfect. I don't ever remember Dolly being as funny as it was last night especially the hat shop scene which was brilliant. I don't think anyone that saw Bette Midler or Donna Murphy as I did will be sorry that they went back to see Bernadette. |
