Hello, Dolly, features Ms. Dolly Levi-Gallagher, a widow, matchmaker, and expert on teaching random people how to dance. Dolly looks to wed Horace Vandergelder, the half-millionaire from Yonkers.

Cathy-Butler Weathersby stars as Dolly, and Jim Arch stars as Horace Vandergelder. John Hardaway directed the production and also appears as the judge.
Hello, Dolly was created by Michael Stewart (book) and Jerry Herman (lyrics and music). The production was on Broadway for nearly seven years, totaling 2844 performances, and featured Carol Channing in the title role. The show was revived three times on Broadway.
Gene Kelly, meanwhile, directed the movie version of Hello, Dolly, in 1969 and starred Barbara Streisand as Dolly and Walter Matthau as Horace Vandergelder.
