Hello, Dolly! is a musical with lyrics and music by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart, was first produced on Broadway by David Merrick in 1964, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and nine other Tonys. The show album Hello, Dolly! An Original Cast Recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. The show has become one of the most enduring musical theatre hits, enjoying three Broadway revivals and international success. It was also made into a 1969 film that was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Although the part of Dolly Levi in the musical was originally written for Ethel Merman, she turned it down, as did Mary Martin (although each later played it). David Merrick then considered Nancy Walker, but eventually Carol Channing was hired, giving her the opportunity to create her most memorable role.

Broadway Awards:

When the irrepressible matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi is hired to arrange a marriage for the miserly half-a-millionaire Horace Vandergelder, she finds him the perfect mate — herself! But first she must rejoin the race of life she stopped running when she was widowed and win the heart of her unsuspecting 'husband-to-be' before he gets hitched to somebody else. Filled with elaborate turn-of-the-20th century costumes, charged with high-energy choreography and positively brimming with joyful tunes including 'Put On Your Sunday Clothes,' 'It Only Takes a Moment' and the irresistible title song, Hello, Dolly! is a delectable treat for audiences of all ages."
