"Hello, Dolly!" is one of the most iconic musicals from the Golden Age of Broadway. With a score composed by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart, it's a multiple award-winning classic that has captured the hearts of audiences for decades. Based on Thorton Wilder's farce, "The Matchmaker," the musical follows the turn-of-the-20th-century adventures of Dolly Gallagher Levi, a matchmaker extraordinaire. When the wealthy and grumpy Horace Vandergelder seeks her help to find a wife, Dolly's matchmaking skills lead to unexpected twists and turns, ultimately revealing true love.

Jennifer Simard, a two-time Tony nominee for "Company" and "Disaster," and a four-time Drama Desk nominee and winner, will bring the character of Dolly Gallagher Levi to life. Jeff Richmond, the Tony Award-winning composer of "Mean Girls the Musical" and a three-time Emmy Award-winning director and producer of "30 Rock," "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," and "Saturday Night Live," will play the role of Horace Vandergelder.
