Walsall Operatic Society staging Hello, Dolly! at Wolverhampton Grand
Walsall Operatic Society are set to return to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre to stage Hello, Dolly!
The show follows WOS’s critically acclaimed 2018 production of Sweeney Todd, which recently won the 2018 season Noda Award for Best Musical in the region.
Hello, Dolly! is based on Thornton Wilder's 1955 play The Matchmaker and features Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart
It tells the story of Dolly Gallagher Levi, as she travels to Yonkers, New York, to find a match for the miserly well-known, unmarried, half-a-millionaire Horace Vandergelder.
In doing so she persuades his niece, his niece’s intended, and Horace’s two clerks to travel to New York City. Dolly’s scheming soon involves Horace’s employees as well as a New York hatmaker, as she tries to cover up her own secret romantic designs.
Vicki Hardy will play Dolly Gallagher Levi alongside Craig Smith as Horace Vandergelder. The cast also includes Adam Gregory as Cornelius Hackl, Alex Woolliscroft as Barnaby Tucker, Lizzie Buckingham as Irene Molloy, Hannah Bird as Minnie Fay, Eleanor Shepard as Ermengarde, Geoff Bird as Rudolph Reisenweber and Gill Westwood as Ernestina Money.
The cast is completed by a group of local performers.
Hello, Dolly! comes to the theatre from June 19 to 22.
