This blockbuster Broadway hit bursts with humour, romance, high-energy dancing and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history. Join socialite-turned-matchmaker Dolly Levi as she travels to Yonkers, New York to find a wife for the curmudgeonly “half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder. Dolly’s romantic scheming soon entangles Horace’s two clerks and a lovestruck young artist. As she busies herself finding mates for the suitors, Dolly realizes it’s her turn to find her own perfect match. One of the most entertaining musical comedies of all time, Hello, Dolly! is a beguiling romp in the universal search for love, with smash hits like “Put On Your Sunday Clothes,” “Before the Parade Passes By,” and, of course, the show-stopping “Hello, Dolly!”
Based on the play “The Matchmaker” by Thornton Wilder
Original production directed and choreographed by Gower Champion
Produced for the Broadway Stage by David Merrick and Champion Five, Inc
Presented through Special Arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC
