I believe Goldberg replaced Sheila Hancock as the Mother Superior at some point during the West End run.

Wow, wow, wow, fellas! I said Whoopi should go into Dolly after Bette from the get go but didn't see anyone agreeing so I let it go.

I feel she's much more suited for the role of Horace. If I recall she did replace Nathan Lane in FORUM so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Barry & Fran were hoping to produce a revival of Hello Dolly starring Whoopi in the early 2000s, which Whoopi was in talks for, but it never panned out.

I think Whoopi has lost a lot of her charm and timing as an entertainer... but I do think she'd have been quite well suited to the role, at least she would have been 15 years ago. Maybe she'd surprise me now.

The character of Pseudolus is much closer to Dolly Levi that it is to Horace Vandergelder. Vandergelder is more like Senex.

I think Miss Goldberg would be a wonderful Dolly!

Now that you mention it, Mary Testa would be an intriguing choice...;-)

I agree but she sadly doesn't have marquee value..

Sadly indeed. She really deserves to be better known.

I've been a fan of Mary since I saw her in "Life Is Not A Doris Day Movie" at the Village Gate in 1982.

First time I ever heard her was on the In Trousers recording, as Miss Goldberg - hence the reference to her to begin with. ;-)
