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...

Old School Fun with Betty Buckley and Company!

What a fun show! This old-fashioned comedy has an almost vaudeville feel to it; kind of corny - and lots of fun! The staging is simple and effective, and it didn't distract from the wonderful songs and choreography. Even though I've loved the score for decades, I felt like I was hearing some of the songs for the first time. That's really special. I have long enjoyed Betty Buckley as a cabaret singer and this production makes good use of her broad talent for interpreting songs and making them her own. I imagine that's hard to pull off, given how many great actresses have played Dolly, but she nailed the role. All the main actors are solid and Lewis J. Stadlen is especially delightful as Horace Vandergelder. The dancing is a fantastic nod to Gower Champion, with huge props to the athletic "Waiters Romp." I can see why people who only know Hello, Dolly! from the glam Streisand movie may feel let down. Their loss. All I can say is enjoy this Hello, Dolly! before the parade passes by! ... Read more

A NIGHT OF COLOR, SONG AND LAUGHTER

I thoroughly loved this production of Hello Dolly. The humor, the timing, the energy, the choreography, the colors made for a night of pure enjoyment. I recognize that Betty Buckley may not have quite the prowess that she did in her earlier days, but her timing, and seasoned presence made her a lovable character. If you’re looking for an old school high energy musical that puts a smile on your face, and makes you realize the exuberant talent that’s out there, go see this production . ... 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
