“Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof!”

Hello Dolly!
SYNOPSIS: Jerry Herman’s energetic Hello, Dolly! is a musical filled with charisma and heart.

Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Hello Dolly! is boisterous and charming from start to finish. Dolly Levi is one of the strongest and richest starring roles for a woman ever written for musical theatre.
LANGUAGE: A few mild uses of “damn.”
SMOKING AND DRINKING: The characters sing of smoking although none is depicted, and wine and champagne are consumed during dinners.
SEX: None.
VIOLENCE: None.
FOR WHICH AUDIENCES? Hello, Dolly! is suitable for all ages.
