| Did you say that when Midler (who I think is older) was cast? | |

| Bette does not appear or play 70s, and nor does Bernadette (and certainly not Donna who isn't even 60). In my opinion at least, Buckley does. And beyond that, from what we've seen, I'm saying and I'm sure most would agree, Bette and Bernadette both bring a youthful positivity, joy, humor and life to the roles they do -- Buckley, though possibly capable of that, isn't known for that, which contributes to this. Beyond that, Bette is a global star, a legendary top recording artist and movie star with Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, a Tony and two Oscar nominations prior to doing Dolly, who can command huge advanced sales with ticket prices higher than almost any other show ever done. To compare the two in terms of what plays and what audiences see or go with for them is a bit bonkers... Bette could have probably done this show at 80 years old and still had a sold out run. Either way, I'm routing for Betty and I'll be there to see it. |

| I like Buckley but she doesn't seem quite right for the part. But it hardly matters. I won't be attending the tour. | |
