The theatre department cordially invites you and your family to our spring musical, "Hello, Dolly!" March 23-25 at 7pm and March 36 at 3pm.You can pick up two complimentary tickets to the show during lunch shifts March 20-24 or from Cheryl Beall.
There are over 120 students involved in this production on stage, back stage, and in the pit band! We have been rehearsing for three months are excited for you to join us.
"Hello, Dolly!" is based on Thornton Wilder's 1955 play "The Matchmaker” and features Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman (Mame and La Cage aux Folles) and a Book by Michael Stewart (Bye Bye Birdie and 42nd Street). The production was hailed as ““One of the biggest, brightest musicals of this century!” by The New York Times; “Good-hearted fun!” by Variety; “Infectious enthusiasm!” by Los Angeles Times; and “A triumph!” by The Washington Post. The musical phenomenon, which ran for nearly 3,000 performances on Broadway, won 10 Tony Awards in 1964 including “Best Musical.” The 1969 film version of "Hello, Dolly!" was nominated for seven Academy Awards. "Hello, Dolly! An Original Cast Recording" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002.
"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 theatre filled with memorable songs such as "Put On Your Sunday Clothes", "Before the Parade Passes By", and "It Only Takes A Moment". Show-stopping dance numbers like "Dancing" and "The Waiter's Galop" are combined with beautiful turn-of-the-century costumes to create a musical the whole family will enjoy! (Rated G)
