Widowed but brassy matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi makes a living through what she calls 'meddling' – matchmaking and numerous sidelines including dance instruction and mandolin lessons. She travels to Yonkers, New York, to visit her new client - the grumpy Horace Vandergelder, a prominent citizen and wealthy bachelor in need of a wife to tend to himself and his home. It is soon clear, however, that Dolly intends to marry Horace herself and to 'send his money circulating among the people like rainwater', the way her late husband taught her.

Hello, Dolly! is an irresistibly cheerful story featuring wonderful songs such as Before The Parade Passes By, Put On Your Sunday Clothes, Ribbons Down My Back the fabulous Waiters Gallop and of course the signature Hello, Dolly! With beautiful costumes and amazing sets, this magnificent musical will delight young and old alike.

The original Broadway production of Hello, Dolly! opened to rave reviews on January 16, 1964, becoming a Broadway blockbuster running for an incredible 2,844 performances. The Oscar-winning 1969 film starred Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau and Michael Crawford and was directed by Gene Kelly.
