Words can not express how magnificent Rachel is in this role. I went to opening
night of Hello, Dolly! in Boston and she redefined the character. So funny, so
tender, so touching, so jubilant. She commanded that stage, as Dolly must. The
audience went wild!

This woman never ceases to move me in some special, unexpected way. There were
people in the lobby calling her a "superstar." They got that right!
I sincerely hope she gets to play this role on B'way someday soon. Just
phenomenal. But I guess I already said that. :-)
