Hello, Dolly! tonight in Boston
Posted by: crewbway 11:51 pm EDT 08/25/19

Buckley's last performance; very long ovation for her when she made her entrance and she wiped away tears several times during the opening number. Enjoyed her performance and showed her talent. Lewis Stadlen was wonderful as well as many of the other secondary roles. For those in Boston, the Opera House sells off the side orchestra seats (obstructed) for $20 for many shows. If you've seen something a few times or in NY and don't care about missing part of the stage (ok, I missed seeing Dolly descend the staircase!), it's worth twenty bucks. No curtain speech for Buckley, just a long kiss to Horace. (I thought her red dress was shorter than I remember....was that the case?)

I would also say that I got $40 "partial view" seats toward the back of the orchestra (right of center, in one of the boxes) and had absolutely no problem seeing anything. A really pleasant surprise. Also, loved the show. For me, the overall best thing was the simplicity of it all - this is not one of those revivals that is trying to outdo/update, etc - it trusts the material very well and was all the more enjoyable for that.
