Hello Dolly at Musical Theatre Village

Based on “The Matchmaker” by Thornton Wilder, “Hello, Dolly!” tells the story of Dolly Gallagher Levi, a matchmaker who has been hired to arrange a marriage for the widowed half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder. Dolly, however, has other plans.  Musical Theater Village in Irvine proudly presents this family favorite, which opens on Friday, July 29th, 2011 and runs through Sunday, August 28th, 2011.

An enduring musical theater hit, Hello, Dolly! , returns to the MTV this Summer.  When Dolly Gallagher Levi is hired to arrange a marriage for the miserly half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder, she finds him the perfect mate - herself! But first she must win the heart of her unsuspecting "husband to be" before he gets hitched to somebody else. Brimming with joyful tunes, from "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" and "It Only Takes a Moment" to the irresistible title song, Hello, Dolly! is a enjoyable treat for musical theater lovers of all ages.

Show times for Hello Dolly! are between July 29th, 2011  and August 28th on Fridays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Ticket prices are $14.00 for children/senior and $16.00 for adults with an extra fee for galas on opening and closing nights, which includes a meal following the show.
