Cost: $11-30
A blockbuster Broadway hit that bursts with humor, high-energy dancing, and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history, HELLO, DOLLY! comes to the Chattanooga Theatre Centre stage hot on the heels of the 2017 Broadway revival that raked in four Tony Awards. This thrilling show follows the comic exploits of Dolly Levi, a turn-of-the-century New York matchmaker who sets her sights on miserly "half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder. Complicating matters is the star-crossed romance between Horace's niece and her suitor and the doomed mischief of his two store clerks. It all leads up to Dolly's grand entrance at the Harmonia Gardens, where the show-stopping title song brings down the house. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit theatrecentre.com.
