Why see Hello, Dolly!?
Hello, Dolly! heads out on tour
The darling of Broadway has returned! After a successful revival on Broadway, this glorious new production of Hello, Dolly! is heading out on a national tour!
With four 2017 Tony Awards under its belt, including Best Revival and Best Actress for Bette Midler, Jerry Herman's musical comedy is truly back where it belongs. Featuring memorable classics such as 'Before the Parade Passes By' and 'Put on Your Sunday Clothes' Hello, Dolly! is ready to reclaim the hearts of the American people.
Based on Thornton Wilder's play The Matchmaker Hello, Dolly! was an instant success when it first debuted in 1964. Winning an unprecedented 10 Tonys at that year's ceremony it was soon adapted for the big screen featuring a cast led by Barbra Streisand and a young Michael Crawford. This 2017 revival is directed by four times Tony winner Jerry Zaks (Sister Act) whose talent has brought Hello, Dolly! back into the limelight.
What's Hello, Dolly! about?
In 1880s New York a rich and cantankerous widower by the name of Horace Vandergelder is on the lookout for a wife. To help him on his quest he engages the services of professional matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi, but little does he know that Dolly has his perfect match in mind from their very first meeting - herself! Now all she has to do is make Horace realize it as well...

Hello Dolly 2/11/2020
This is a wonderful production! The cast is top notch, as are the costumes, live orchestra, lighting, and choreography. It is a treat for all senses! Carolee Carmello is fabulous as Dolly, she grabs hold of the audience from the very first scene. The dancers are marvels of athleticism and enthusiasm. If you have a kid in competitive dancing who is interested at all in getting into the theater, this is a MUST see. I have season tickets to the Fox Broadway series, this show made it into my top 5 favorites. Thanks for a delightfully entertaining evening! ... Read more

HELLO, DOLLY! with Miss BETTY BUCKLEY
Over the moon and into a galaxy far, far away. Light all the candles and pull out the
biggest red carpet. This is a major star-affirming production with dancing and
acrobatics and color like you've never seen. This wonderful show might well eclipse
even the fabled original. Run, do not walk, and buy the best ticket you can. This is the
one you will be telling your grandchildren about. ... Read more
