The WYO proudly presents Hello, Dolly!—the classic Broadway musical brimming with romance, wit, and show-stopping music. Directed by Sheridan's own Marva Craft, with music direction by Kathy McNickle and design by Jeannie Hall, this sparkling production showcases the extraordinary artistry of performers and musicians who all call our community home. From the vibrant cast to the live pit band, every note, dance step, and dazzling costume celebrates Sheridan talent at its best.
Bursting with unforgettable songs like "Put On Your Sunday Clothes," "Before the Parade Passes By," and the title number "Hello, Dolly!," the story follows the irrepressible Dolly Gallagher Levi, a socialite-turned-matchmaker with a few clever plans up her sleeve. Set in 1890s New York, the show delights with comedic twists, heartfelt romance, and the kind of big musical moments that leave audiences beaming.
Opening night sets the tone for an evening to remember. Premiere guests will enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres and specialty cocktails at the cash bar, mingling with friends and fellow theater lovers before the curtain rises. As always, we invite everyone to dress in show-inspired costume or any attire that sparks joy - whether you favor vintage finery, Broadway flair, or simply your own signature style.
Make plans now to join us for a grand night out where music, laughter, and Sheridan creativity shine. This community-powered production of Hello, Dolly! promises to lift spirits, celebrate connection, and create memories you’ll carry long after the final bow.
Hello, Dolly! is sponsored by Mark & Teresa Law, Billy & Marva Craft, John & Kristen Seely, Ross & Noemi Langhorne, Little Horn State Bank, and Susan Fry
