Hello, Dolly! is an endearing musical about a "matchmaker" who finds her own match! A musical with lyrics and music by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart, based on Thornton Wilder's 1938 farce The Merchant of Yonkers, which Wilder revised and retitled The Matchmaker in 1955. The musical went on to become an all-time favorite with three Broadway revivals and a motion picture by the same name.
