Summary: The popular musical composed by Jerry Herman based on Thornton Wilder’s hit play “The Matchmaker” is a perfect wedding of story and music.No doubt the original 1964 production was inspired by the feminist movement of its time, reminding women of the limitations their grandmothers endured. “Hello Dolly” is a gentle and entertaining look back at how far we have come and perhaps a cautionary glimpse at where we might return.“Hello Dolly” is at the Marriott Theatre, in the Chicago suburb of Lincolnshire, IL through October 16, 2022. Running time is two and a half hours with one 15 minute intermission. For tickets and information visit marriotttheatre.com or phone: (847) 634-0200.
