    Midler and producer Scott Rudin had been in touch regarding this role for about a year. After a lot of research, reading and understanding of the essentials personality traits of Dolly, Midler agreed to play this role. Rehearsals would begin soon this year. It is speculated that the upcoming musical would be a tribute to the original theatrical and its director, Gower Champion.

    Betty would be performing a role previously portrayed by well-known Broadway actors. She would be joining the legions of Ethel Merman, Carol Channing and Ginger Rogers to name a few. They have previously played the role of Dolly in this production. Hello. Dolly! is said to be the longest-running Broadway musical during the late 1960’s. It ran for about seven years.

    After a hit Broadway performance by Midler in 2013 in I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers this show marks her comeback to this field. She has taken to a variety of platforms like television, movies and Broadway musicals during her successful career. She is the recipient of Emmy Awards, Grammy Awards and the Golden Globes. She has also been nominated for the Academy Awards twice in her career.

    Hello.Dolly! is set to premiere on March 13, 2017. A grand opening to celebrate this event will take place on April 20, 2017.
