Bernadette Peters to Replace Bette Midler in 'Hello, Dolly!' on Broadway!

Broadway will officially be saying “hello” to a new Dolly next year when Bernadette Peters joins the cast of Hello, Dolly!

The legendary Broadway star is set to replace Tony winner Bette Midler in the title role and it is rumored that Victor Garber will be joining her in the cast.
