HELLO, DOLLY! at Cincinnati Christian Schools

CCS_Hello Dolly logo

HELLO, DOLLY!, the blockbuster Broadway hit, bursts with humor, romance, high-energy dancing, and some of the greatest songs in musical theater history. The romantic and comic exploits of Dolly Gallagher-Levi, turn-of-the-century matchmaker and ‘woman who arranges things,’ are certain to thrill and entertain audiences again and again. The show’s memorable songs include “Put On Your Sunday Clothes,” “Ribbons Down My Back,” “Before the Parade Passes By,” “Hello, Dolly!,” “Elegance,” and “It Only Takes a Moment.”

Theatre has always been a place of brief escape from the chaos, stress, and frenzy of reality. To enter a world where you can fall in love in just one evening and where it’s perfectly acceptable to break out in song, just may be the place to spend an evening out of your busy schedule. It’s good to take a break and be reminded of how simple life can be if you have some love, joy, and friendship. If you do decide to come, be prepared to laugh and “hum” along with a Broadway classic.

The performances will be performed at the Parrish Auditorium the first weekend in March. This fast-paced, energetic musical is great for all ages. With more than 40 students, the cast of HELLO, DOLLY! is sure to impress with their vocal talent, dancing, and hilarious performances.

Featuring Olivia Reese as Dolly Gallagher-Levi, Parker Wilhelm as Horace Vandergelder, Luke Schlake as Cornelius Hackl, Zachary Schlake as Barnaby Tucker, Maggie Brown as Irene Molloy, and Merrick Heid as Minnie Fay.

Directed by Leah Perry.
