The Muny announced principal casting for the seventh and final show of its 96th season, Hello, Dolly!, directed by Rob Ruggiero, choreographed by Ralph Perkins, with music direction by Brad Haak. Hello, Dolly! is sponsored by Ameren.

Tony® Award winner Beth Leavel stars as Dolly Levi and John O'Hurley as Horace Vandergelder.

Joining them are Daniel Berryman as Ambrose Kemper, Berklea Going as Ermengarde, Rich Pisarkiewicz as Rudolph/Judge, and April Strelinger as Ernestina.

"We are so thrilled to have Beth and John back, exactly where they belong," said Muny Artistic Director and Executive Producer Mike Isaacson. "This incredible company is sure to do great honor to Jerry Herman's classic American musical on its '50th Anniversary.'"

The Muny production features scenic design by Michael Schweikardt, costume design by Amy Clark, lighting design by John Lasiter, sound design by Jason Krueger, and video design by Rob Denton. The production stage manager is Monica Dickhens.

This year, Hello, Dolly! celebrates its 50th anniversary, and The Muny closes its 96th season with a grand production of this classic musical comedy. Dolly has "always been a woman who arranges things," and you'll delight as she tries to win the heart of the well known half-a-millionaire, Horace Vandergelder. Hello, Dolly! features a book by Michael Stewart, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman.
