Patti Lupone Rumors ...

Rumors have begun to surface that Broadway's own Patti LuPone may star in a revival of Jerry Herman's Hello, Dolly!  LuPone would take on the role originated (and made famous by) Carol Channing in the original Broadway production in the 1960s and Barbara Streisand in the 1969 film adaptation.  Neither Ms. LuPone nor the Nederlander Organization, which is developing the production, has confirmed or denied anything.
