Dolly takes a trip to New York to meet a millionaire, Mr. Vandergelder, whom has been courting another woman - but Dolly is soon to change that! "Hello, Dolly!" is the story of turn-of-the-century widowed matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi, who, after cunningly negotiating marriages for others through a series of comic romantic entanglements, ultimately finds her own match. "'Hello, Dolly!' is a magical piece of musical theater filled with memorable songs such as 'Put On Your Sunday Clothes,' 'Before the Parade Passes By' and 'It Only Takes A Moment.'For more about the show, visit www.drurylane.com.
