Directed by John Durnin,in his 10th Season as PFT’s Artistic Director, Hello, Dolly! takes you on a whirlwind journey around New York city at the turn of the 20th century in the footsteps of America`s most celebrated matchmaker, Dolly Levi: glamorous, wise-cracking, indomitable – and with a heart of gold.
