Social Roundup: Broadway Remembers Carol Channing
By: Linnae Medeiros Jan. 15, 2019
Broadway lost one of its brightest lights today with the passing of the renowned Carol Channing. Stars and fans alike have taken to social to remember and reminisce about the legend and her iconic performances in HELLO, DOLLY! and more. Check out some of the highlights below!
Carol got a standing O' every night on the '95 tour...usually started by her husband (who watched every show). One night he was sick. I filled in. I stood. The rest followed. She told me I'd be a star after that. RIP Carol. ??? https://t.co/ZQkJjxml7x

So very sad to learn that the great Carol Channing has passed away. A true icon! We are dedicating our opening tonight in San Diego to her in the theater where the 1st National Tour of "Hello, Dolly!" starring Ms. Channing opened. Thank you, Carol, for the legacy of joy! https://t.co/DC5nM5hljs
