The play that inspired the musical Hello, Dolly!  is farce that leaves the audience chuckling in their seats. Horace Vandergelder is a wealthy shop owner in Yonkers, New York, who is looking to remarry after many years of being widowed. He enlists the help of Mrs. Dolly Levi Gallagher, a widow herself, to assist in finding a worthy new spouse. Through Dolly's rearranging and matchmaking ways, a comedy develops around mistaken identities, lovesick young lovers, and a love triangles with young and old alike. A classic comedy written by Thornton Wilder, the play has followed in the footsteps of many mixed-up comedy plots and inspires others that have come out in recent years. A charming farce that develops the recognizable characters of Hello, Dolly! so well, you'll wonder how you never saw this play before!
