NEW YORK OFFICIAL MAYORAL PROCLAMATION DECLARES FRIDAY 21st APRIL AS ‘DOLLY DAY’ TO CELEBRATE OPENING NIGHT OF
Hello, Dolly!
To commemorate the official opening of Hello, Dolly! starring Bette Midler on Broadway, Mayor Bill de Blasio has officially proclaimed Friday, April 21, “Dolly Day” in New York City. As promised, the proclamation, has been hand-delivered to the Sam S. Shubert Theatre.
The Broadway revival of Michael Stewart and Jerry Herman’s masterpiece Hello, Dolly! is directed by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks and choreographed by Tony Award® winner Warren Carlyle.
This Hello, Dolly!, the first new production of this classic musical (based on Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker) to appear on Broadway since it opened more than fifty years ago, pays tribute to the original work of legendary director/ choreographer Gower Champion, which has been hailed both then and now as one of the greatest stagings in musical theater history.
