This upbeat, emotionally charged musical is adapted from Thornton Wilder's, “The Matchmaker.”
“Hello, Dolly!” is a Tony award-winning musical that opened on Broadway in 1964. It became the longest running musical of its time.
“Hello, Dolly!” is the story of turn-of-the-century widowed matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi, who, after cunningly negotiating marriages for others through a series of comic romantic entanglements, ultimately finds her own match.
“‘Hello, Dolly!' is a magical piece of musical theater filled with memorable songs such as ‘Put On Your Sunday Clothes,' ‘Before the Parade Passes By' and ‘It Only Takes A Moment.' Showstopping dance numbers like ‘Dancing' and ‘The Waiter's Gallop' are combined with beautiful turn-of-the-century costumes to create a musical the whole family will enjoy. This is an ensemble show with energetic group numbers throughout,” director Denise Sebastiano said.
