| While Buckley has a great steely voice, I've never seen her in anything where she demonstrated much in the way of comedy or humor (other than her character having a hissy fit or two in "Drood"). I'd actually love to see Sally Struthers' Dolly. | |

| Sally Struthers was GREAT as Dolly when I saw her in it on tour. | |

| Look I am a Betty Buckley, but I simply cannot imagine her being right for this role. stage mom monster in Gypsy yes. warm matchmaker in Hello Dolly no. |

| Ha - wasn't she supposedly too lacking in warmth, too unlikable and harsh in Gypsy and that's part of why they didn't let it transfer? We've seen her be something other than monster - 1776, Drood (ego monster for part of it, but not the same thing), Elegies... Grey Gardens (though I did find her disappointing in some important aspects of that character), in Cats she's not a "monster". But none of what is required in these roles have much to do with what's required for Dolly. Maybe she's never had the chance to show us, that doesn't mean she can't do it. I'm just surprised they're letting her try it in the first national tour of Hello Dolly, that's all. |
