Andrews is the right age for the role now, but I still think she's a little too genteel for the role of Dolly.

I think you meant to write: gentile. ;)
How old is Dolly supposed to be? I'm a little surprised by all these suggestions.
Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!
Julie Andrews is a pretty good actress (sometimes overlooked for her musical talents and "charm"), so she might be able to do a good job, but she definitely wouldn't be my first choice (or even in my top 100). Plus there's her voice problems.
My first choice would probably still be Tyne Daly--she's even done a concert-style version of it. The way Broadway goes, we'll probably be seeing Bernadette Peters in the role any year now.
How about Bette Midler as Dolly? I think she would be great.
sharelol buikavlan you might be right.. then again patti lapone... wow
shareAt least she can sing and they could CG out her wrinkles.

Well, Dolly Gallagher Levi is supposed to be an older woman, so digitally taking out her wrinkles would be totally unnecessary. Just look at Shirley Booth in the role in the film verion of "The Matchmaker."

Angela as Dolly would have been great fun! I'll bet Ms Midler would do a great job too.
On another thread, we were discussing another "what if" - Debbie Reynolds as Dolly. What do you think?

Even in a remake at this point in time, I'd still go with Barbra.

Queen Latifah would raise the roof.

I think many of you don't know there were two Broadway "Dollies" with black casts
Pearl Bailey played in both first with Cab Calloway in 1967 and then in 1975 with
Billy Daniels. I got to see the second one whats more they did a mini concert after the play ended.
I think Whoopi Goldberg would make a great Dolly.

I think many of you don't know there were two Broadway "Dollies" with black castsI think it is a very interesting sign of those times that the 1967 Pearl Bailey cast was entirely black, but the 1975 tour that you saw when it played New York had an interracial chorus.
Myself I never saw the 1967 one, my wife did but that was before she met me.
I'm well aware the of the interracial chorus of the 2nd tour.
Anyway point in fact the 1967 Dolly with a black cast was indeed a first.

.....actually makes sense for the time period that the play is set in (the 1890's) as races would not be intermingling at that time. While an interracial cast is certainly more modern thinking and fair from a casting perspective, that just ain't the way it was in the olden days folks.
