BWW Review: HELLO, DOLLY! at the Hobby Center
by Alric Davis - Jan 13, 2020
a?oeDolly will never go away again!a??
But that's just it. Dolly has never gone anywhere.
So long as there are humans on earth, Hello, Dolly! will continue to live. Somewhere, somehow, the show will always be produced, the songs always sung, the characters always riffed off of.
