When millionaire Horace Vandergelder hires flamboyant matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi to find him a wife, it doesn’t take long for Dolly to come up with the perfect candidate — herself. Based on Thornton Wilder’s play The Matchmaker, Hello, Dolly! took Broadway by storm in 1964, winning 10 Tony Awards — including Best Musical and Best Actress for its leading lady, Carol Channing.
Famous songs from Hello, Dolly! include “Put on Your Sunday Clothes,” “It Takes a Woman,” “Before the Parade Passes By” and, of course, “Hello, Dolly!”
