Hello, Dolly! (June 2007)
Aberdeen Arts Centre
Hello, Dolly! is the story of Mrs Dolly Gallagher Levi's plan to marry Horace Vandergelder, the well-known half-a-millionaire. She embarks on her favourite pastime - meddling - and, along the way, also succeeds in matching up the young and beautiful widow, Mrs Irene Molloy, with Horace Vandergelder's head clerk, Cornelius Hackl; his assistant, Barnaby Tucker, with Mrs Molloy's assistant, Minnie Fay; and the struggling artist, Ambrose Kemper, with Mr Vandergelder's weeping niece, Ermengarde.
The show-stopping numbers in this sparkling production include: ‘Put On Your Sunday Clothes’, ‘It Takes a Woman’, ‘Elegance’, ‘The Waiters' Galop’ and, of course, ‘Hello, Dolly!’ itself.
“...Phoenix Youth chose a cracker when they pulled Hello Dolly out of the bag...”
