HELLO, DOLLY! Jerry Herman and Michael Stewart’s 1964 smash hit musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s 1938 farce The Merchant of Yonkers (which was itself based on Brit John Oxenford’s 1835 play A Day Well Spent), follows the romantic and comic exploits of Dolly Gallagher-Levi, a strong-willed turn-of-the-century matchmaker and “woman who arranges things”, as she travels to Yonkers, New York, to find a match for the miserly “well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder. Look for great dancing, songs ("Hello, Dolly!", "When The Parade Passes By", "Put On Your Sunday Clothes", "Ribbons Down My Back"), and plenty of good humor!
Our production stars Vanessa Greenway as Dolly Gallagher-Levi, Bill Hulings as Horace Vandergelder, Tate Foshay as Cornelius Hackl, Shae Brodsky as Barnaby Tucker, Hannah Rudkin as Irene Molloy, Hanna Foshay as Minnie Fay, Wilder Teague as Ermengarde, and Owen Colley as Ambrose with a fabulous ensemble of Shedd veterans! It is directed by Kirk Boyd with music direction by Robert Ashens, choreography by Richard Jessup, costumes by Anna Björnsdotter and set by Connie Huston.
