Hello, Dolly! (Original)
Choose options
Jerry Herman and Michael Stewart’s 'Hello, Dolly!' stands as an undisputed titan of the golden-era American musical comedy stage, sweeping a record-breaking ten Tony Awards during its historic 1964 premiere at the St. James Theatre and running for 2,844 performances. Based on Thornton Wilder’s farce *The Matchmaker*, the brilliant plot follows Dolly Gallagher Levi, a fiercely independent widow and strategic meddler who travels to Yonkers, New York to find a bride for the grumpy "half-millionaire" merchant Horace Vandergelder, while secretly plotting to marry him herself. Directed and choreographed by Gower Champion, the original production famously launched Carol Channing into theatrical immortality.
