Ticket Down is a reputable source of authentic Hello Dolly tickets at Shubert Theatre on Broadway in New York City. Hello Dolly is back and this time Bette Midler stars in the role of the titular Dolly Levi. First staged in 1964, this is a legendary play which has garnered a lot of critical acclaim and a loyal following.

The 1964 production won Best Musical along with 9 other Tony Awards. The 10 Tonys won was a record which was unbroken for 37 years. Some of the biggest names on stage and song have played Dolly Levi, including Carol Channing who made it her own. It became a signature role for her, and indelibly associated to her throughout her career. Other actresses have also played Dolly, including Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Betty Grable, Ginger Rogers, Phyllis Diller and Pearl Bailey. Barbra Streisand portrayed Dolly in the 1969 movie adaptation.

The play has its roots in an 1835 play “A Day Well Spent”, by John Oxenford. A farce adaptation was later done by Johann Nastroy, “Einen Jux will er sich machen”. Thornton Wilder adapted the farce from Nastroy into “The Merchant of Yonkers”, which he later revised and called “The Matchmaker.” After adapting the play into a musical it became “Hello Dolly” after producer David Merrick heard Louis Armstrong’s rendition of the song.

Bette Midler was last on Broadway with her 2013 one-woman play “I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers.” Broadway performances of Hello Dolly started on March 13, 2017 and the production formally opens up on April 20, 2017.

It will be exciting to hear Bette Midler in the role of Dolly. She is one actress and singer who can do justice to a role which singers of different ranges have starred in. Originally written with Ethel Merman in mind, Bette. Midler should be able to deliver on the notes a la Ethel. At the same time, she can also deliver it like Streisand in the movie. Or she can do the right thing and sing it like only Better Midler can.
