To find her way home, she must journey along the Yellow Brick Road to see the mysterious and all-powerful Wizard in Emerald City. Along the way, she makes new friends, but must also brave many dangers, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Dorothy’s magical ruby slippers. To make it home safely, Dorothy must learn an important lesson: there’s no place like home.

Performing Arts Academy Presents HELLO DOLLY

PAA_Hello DollyThe Performing Arts Academy in Middletown is proud to present the beloved musical, Hello Dolly! with our MainStage theatre group, August 11 through August 20, 2023. Performances will take place Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00pm, and Sundays at 3pm.

Jerry Herman’s energetic Hello, Dolly! is a musical filled with charisma and with heart. Matchmaker Dolly Levi is a widow, a matchmaker, and also a professional meddler — but everything changes when she decides that the next match she needs to make is to find someone for herself. Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Hello Dolly! is boisterous and charming from start to finish, featuring such memorable songs as “Before the Parade Passes By,” “It Only Takes a Moment,” “It Takes a Woman,” and—of course—the title number, “Hello, Dolly!”

Full of humor, romance, and exquisite dancing, this is the classic that everyone needs to see.

Directed by Nina Markle, and choreographed by Mark Norris.  DON’T MISS this theatrical event of the summer!

Tickets are $20 for Adults and $15 for Sr. Adults (65+) and children (12 and under.)  For more information, and to purchase tickets, visit theperformingartsacademy.com For handicap seating call the Box Office at 513-594-7242.
