Hello, Dolly!

Often cited as one of the last of the great “Golden Age” musicals, this romantic and funny romp seemed brand new in a 2017 Broadway revival first starring Bette Midler, and then Bernadette Peters. This 2015 MTWichita production perfectly embodies the humor and charm of a bygone era, and fills the stage with color and detail. Although known as a notable showcase for its leading character, Hello, Dolly! is actually a strong ensemble show, with a large number of principal and featured characters.
