Patti’s? Or Bernadette’s?”). 

We sometimes come across rare TQ gems.  This morning, a poster wrote an impassioned inquiry about the climactic scene in Hello, Dolly!

“Both Jerry Herman and Carol Channing talked with great reverence about the title number in Hello, Dolly! Apparently it is the moment that Dolly decides to rejoin the human race.

Am I totally missing something? She seems like a pretty lively presence from the first moment we lay eyes on her, and no one would ever guess that she isn’t living life to the fullest. I would never describe the character of Dolly Levi as someone who was hiding from life…”

Apparently, Harold Bloom made a mistake when he forgot to include Hello, Dolly! in The Western Canon.
