Hello Dolly Lookin’ Swell in Lincolnshire

Horace Vandergelder meets his match in the person of Dolly Levi in the Marriott Lincolnshire production of “Hello Dolly.” The popular Jerry Herman musical based on Thornton Wilder’s hit play “The Matchmaker” is a perfect wedding of story and music.

No doubt the original 1964 production was inspired by the feminist movement of its time, reminding women of the limitations their grandmothers endured. During this present period of reduction in women’s rights “Hello Dolly” is an entertaining look back at how far we have come and perhaps a cautionary glimpse at where we might return.

“Hello Dolly” is at the Marriott Theatre, in Lincolnshire, IL through October 16, 2022. For tickets and information visit marriotttheatre.com  or phone: (847) 634-0200.

Directed and Choreographed by Denis Jones the cast includes Heidi Kettenring – David C. Girolmo – Rebecca Hurd – Alex Goodrich – Amanda Walker – Spencer Davis Milford – Emily Ann Brooks – Michael Turrentine with music director Ryan T. Nelson.
