I was in bits at the end. What a performance. The whole cast was magnificent.

seeing her as the understudy to Julia McKenzie in 'Guys and Dolls' over 40 years ago, and then her taking over the role of Miss Adelaide, to this point is quite the trajectory. She was a lovely young woman then (I worked in the same theatre), and seems to have not have changed in that regard. A national treasure, deserving the recognition she receives.

This production of Hello, Dolly! is one of the best revivals that we've had in the west end. Just went to see it the other day and I am speechless even now. I really like how this show actually got the chance to do perform this because I remember they tried to do this in 2020 but of course that couldn't happen. Amazing things are worth the wait!!

Was at the show last night - 16th July -= AMAZING! The whole cast were a class apart - and Imelda! SUBLIME! That lady is true theatre royalty. Never in all my years of going to the theatre have I witnessed, nor been part of, such an ovation at the end of a show! I have no words to describe it - this show is a MUST see! You've only got till 14th Sept to see it!

I still can't get over this production's orchestrations. 21 pieces, yet when I close my eyes - it sounds like a much larger orchestra. Stellar cast, Imelda is brilliant as Dolly, not to mention these stunning visuals (shame I can't see this in person unless I fly across the pond - only two months)

This morning will go down in History for 2 reasons
#1 my husband suprised me this morning with a trip to London for 2 weeks and on August 17 he got 2 tickets 3rd row center Orchestra to see my #1❤ Stage actress Imelda Staunton in Hello Dolly!!!
#2 I wrote her a fan letter and she answered back the next
I am now in Imelda heaven!!!!

[Fidelisjoff]

I didn't realise the talent that is Imelda Staunton. Magic on that stage.

[SymphonyBrahms]

Wow! Dame Imelda was brilliant in Gypsy. And she is brilliant in Hello, Dolly! She is an incredible actress and singer.

[MarthaK-bv]

I told my daughter that I would take her on a mother-daughter trip to celebrate her college graduation. She picked London. And I insisted on seeing Hello Dolly, which we saw tonight. Dame Imelda was absolutely fabulous!!! Please come perform in the states.

Watched the show 20th August. Brilliant performance by Imelda and the cast. What an amazing set, with the scrollling background plus the travelator. I honestly thought the train was real! Best musical in the West End this summer.

[piarco]

Just from this clip I think she is an incredible Dolly! Love her in all things.

[pureboy]

She absolutely nailed the journey from grief to joy, hers is a many layered Dolly. Lovely touch in ‘Before the Parade Passes By’ when the Funeral Directors Guild March past, she greets and shakes the hand of the boss. A nod to the passing of her late husband.

Saw this last night, I was blown away.⭐️

[joyuna]

This production is a triumph. The most fun I've had at the theatre for a long long time. Sorry to see it go!

[laurakatemarshall]

Look at her bring it and open wide and bright. Such a wonderful actress and clearly an intelligent singer as well.

[leona]

Does anyone know if we will get a cast recording? Was at the show yesterday and I’m still reeling with how perfect it was!

[PictorialMuseum]

Wow, she really has a “Bette” sound to her voice here, although it’s so little to go by. She is a powerhouse.

[christineharris]

Saw the show this afternoon Wow Wow Dolly 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[gardensenglishandtrivia]

I had no idea Imelda Staunton could sing so well, I am really impressed!

[danielerrington-barnes]

We saw this last night - incredible show. A must see ❤
