Book by Michael Steward Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman Based on the play the Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder Original production Directed and Choreographed by Gower Champion Produced for the Broadway Stage by David Merrick and Champion Five, Inc. This musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s hit play The Matchmaker bursts with humor, romance, energetic dance and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history. The romantic and comic exploits of Dolly Gallagher Levi, turn-of-the-century matchmaker and “woman who arranges things,” are certain to thrill and entertain audiences again and again.

Hello Dolly has won many awards, including:
Ten 1964 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Author and Composer/Lyricist
New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Musical
Two 1968 Outer Critics Circle Awards
Four 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical
Three 2017 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Revival of a Musical

THIS SHOW IS A TOTAL DISASTER… AND YOU’LL LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT!
Are you tired of normal musicals where things go right?
Sick of happy endings that make sense?
Then buckle up, because Disaster: The Musical is here to absolutely ruin your expectations.
Earthquakes!
Fires!
Tidal waves!
Questionable life choices set to 70s hits!
All happening at the same time. Because why have one disaster when you can have ALL OF THEM?
Featuring iconic songs you didn’t realize could narrate complete chaos, including:
People falling in love… during mass panic
People breaking up… during mass panic
People singing instead of evacuating… during MASS PANIC
Witness dramatic slow-motion running!
Emotional ballads mid-catastrophe!
Absolutely zero regard for safety protocols!
Critics are saying:
“I laughed, I cried, I reconsidered cruise vacations.”
“Like a rollercoaster… if the rollercoaster was on fire.”
So grab your friends, your sense of humor, and maybe a life jacket—just in case.
