| Mr. Beatty's recollections are a little off. "Ashes" ran at the Public Theater in the Spring of 1977. Mr. Beatty states that "The Bedroom Before Yesterday" was Ms Channing's first play since "Hello Dolly!" and she missed it. Miss it, she might but since she appeared in "Hello Dolly" she appeared on Broadway in "Four on a Garden"in 1971 and in "Lorelei" in 1974. Of course she did tour in "Hello Dolly!" quite a bit and may have come to "The Bedroom Before Yesterday" from a tour but she had theatrical (and motion picture) adventures since her early 60's Dolly triumph. She did not present "Hello, Dolly" again on Broadway until the Spring of 1978. |
