Hello, Dolly! (Mary Martin, 1965 Okinawa Japan Tour) - repro

The legendary and historically unprecedented 1965 international touring company production of Jerry Herman’s 'Hello, Dolly!' achieved mythical status by traveling to the remote island of Okinawa, Japan under the auspices of the U.S. State Department cultural exchange program. Performing for international audiences and military personnel during a sweltering geopolitical landscape, this grand-scale production brought the full musical comedy blueprints of Dolly Levi’s matchmaking adventures to Asia. This historic staging starred musical theater royalty Mary Martin delivering a virtuosic title performance, preserved here.
