Hello, Patti! It has been announced that Hello, Dolly! is scheduled to close on Broadway on August 24th after a run of 14 months. The original ran for seven years with Carol Channing, Ginger Rogers, Martha Raye, Betty Grable, Pearl Bailey, Phyllis Diller, and Ethel Merman running for seven years.
Add to that list with the magnificent CURRENT revival: Bette Midler, Donna Murphy, and Bernadette Peters. I am thrilled that Bette Midler is returning for the summer but disappointed to read it will close in August. Betty Buckley is leading a National tour starting in the autumn.
I would like to see this show run a little longer and Patti LaBelle is the one to make that happen! Sign the petition and share! Maybe we can convince Patti LaBelle, Scott Rudin, and Jerry Zaks to keep this landmark musical on the boards!

The sheer number of people who want to see this show continue is staggering. It has been an exhausting road to advocate for this production but seeing this level of passion keeps me going.

It was the very first movie musical that I saw and fell in love with AND the first show I had the pleasure to be in professionally. Let’s keep it running a little bit longer!
It's such a hit. Think it be great to recreate the original run and get a "new"Dolly about every 3-4 months+unless the ones doing it want to do it longer) Love the idea of Patti LaBelle, would be fun to see Patti LuPone, Christine Chenowith, even Queen Latifa for a few considerations.
I thinks its a great idea! I say go for it! Good Luck! :)
Put PATTI in this GREAT SHOW
Such a fun show with its messages about love and perserverence, should be enjoyed by many more audiences
This is a great casting idea and I'm all for it.
An inspired choice to attract a whole new audience !

Patti would make a fantastic “Dolly”! If you have ever seen her live in concert you’ll know what I mean.
