Hello Dolly at the Segerstrom
Sat., Jan. 26, 9:30 am – 6:30 pm, $55 pp.
The darling of Broadway has returned!
Following on from a successful revival, this
glorious new production of Hello, Dolly! is
heading out on a national tour, due to hit
stages during the 2018/19 season. With four
2017 Tony Awards under its belt, including
Best Revival and Best Actress for Bette
Midler, Jerry Herman's musical comedy
is truly back where it belongs. Featuring
memorable classics such as Before the Parade
Passes By and Put on Your Sunday Clothes,
Hello, Dolly! is ready to reclaim the hearts
of the American people. Based on Thornton
Wilder's play The Matchmaker, Hello, Dolly!
was an instant success when it first debuted
in 1964. Winning an unprecedented 10
Tony's at that year's ceremony it was soon
adapted for the big screen featuring a cast
led by Barbara Streisand and a young
Michael Crawford. This 2017 revival is
directed by four-time Tony winner Jerry
Zaks (Sister Act) whose talent has brought
Hello, Dolly! back into the lime light. What's
Hello, Dolly! about? In 1880s New York, a rich
and cantankerous widower by the name of
Horace Vandergelder is on the lookout for a
wife. To help him on his quest he engages
the services of professional matchmaker
Dolly Gallagher Levi, but little does he know
that Dolly has his perfect match in mind
from their very first meeting – herself! Now
all she has to do is make Horace realize it as
well… Lunch will be on own at the South
Coast Plaza before the 2 pm show.
