THE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

"HELLO, DOLLY''', starring Carol Channing, opened at the St. James Theatre in NewYork on January 16, 1964. It is a delightful Jerry Herman musical based on ThorntonWilder's, 'THE MATCHMAKER", which was produced at the Royal Lyceum Theatre,Edinburg on August 23, 1954. This play opened in the United States on October 27-1955, and starred Ruth Gordon as Dolly and Robert Morse as Barnaby. 'TheMatchmaker" is a rewritten version of "The Merchant. of Yonkers", produced in 1938and is also based on Johann Nestroy's comedy, "Einen Jux Will Es Sich Machen",produced in Vienna in 1842, which was in turn based upon an English original by JohnOxenford, "A Day Well Spent", produced in London in 1935.

We have given "Hello, Dolly!" a 'a new coat of paint' with an exciting set concept andhope that you will sit back and enjoy our interpretation of the adventures of DollyGallagher Levi and friends!
