So peters has probably kept the show profitable. I am surprised that Rudin didnt ask another round of stars. I could see no one wanting to follow midlers huge success. But peters successful but not soldout run should have opened the door to stars like queen latifah. But buckley is doing the tour and she isnt a big household name for the most part.

Wasn't the word on the street that they asked Queen Latifah and she said no, or couldn't clear her schedule to do it?

I think that was the word around here, not on the street, and I cannot imagine a scenario in which it would be based on actual information.

It was never truly clarified that the production was "Hello, Dolly! but this was what was reported last July. It was also reported on a number of "gossip" type news sites.
"It has been reported that big screen and rap superstar, Queen Latifah, is looking make her Broadway debut.

Latifah noted that she was offered a starring role in an unnamed hit stage show, but her schedule would not allow her to accept the opportunity

"There was a big production that was offered to me and it became very successful, It gained some Tony (Awards), but I couldn't work it into my (schedule)." Latifah revealed on Watch What Happens Live."

Thanks for the correction of (at least) my recollection.
