| Hello Dolly! is the story of Mrs Levi's
efforts to marry Horace Vandergelder, the well-known
half-a-millionaire, so that she can send his money
circulating like rainwater, the way her late husband
Ephraim Levi taught her. Along the way she also succeeds
in matching up the young and beautiful Widow Molloy with
Vandergelder's head clerk, Cornelius Hackl; Cornelius's
assistant Barnaby Tucker with Mrs Molloy's assistant,
Minnie Fay; and the struggling artist Ambrose Kemper with
Mr Vandergelder's weeping niece, Ermengarde. Mrs Levi
tracks Vandergleder to his hay and feed store in Yonkers,
then by train back to Mrs Molloy's hat shop in New York,
out into the streets of the city where they are all
caught up in the great Fourteenth Street Association
Parade, and then to the Harmonia Gardens, where Dolly is
greeted by the waiters, cooks, doormen and wine stewards
in one of the most famous songs in the history of
American musical comedy - "Hello Dolly!".
What happens in the end? Well it would be a shame to
give the game away so just enjoy the show!
