"Hello, Dolly! Well Hello, Dolly! It's so nice to have you back where you belong!"
Yep, after 34 years (we first performed this show back in 1980), Mrs. Dolly Gallagher Levi is coming back to our JMT stage, brining with her a great story and all the fun, excitement and unforgettable songs that only this timeless classic can bring!
This gem of a musical, based on the play "The Matchmaker" by Thornton Wilder and set in turn-of-the-century New York, opened 50 years ago in that city in 1964 at the St. James Theater. It deserved every one of its 10 Tony Awards and its 2,844 Broadway performances!
So sit back, enjoy and remember.....
And thank you for coming!
