     “Step into the sparkling world of Hello, Dolly! the classic musical comedy bursting with charm, wit, and high-stepping fun. Join the unstoppable Dolly Levi as she cheerfully meddles, matches, and masterminds her way through Yonkers, all while delivering unforgettable moments set to beloved songs like ‘Put On Your Sunday Clothes,’ ‘Before the Parade Passes By,’ ‘It Only Takes a Moment,’ and of course the show-stopping ‘Hello, Dolly!’ With big laughs, bold characters, and music that practically dances off the stage, this Broadway favorite promises joy, romance, and a whole lot of mischief. The show offers many great roles for ladies and gents, plus a large, lively ensemble—including kids! Don’t miss your chance to be part of the magic!”
