Eastbourne Operatic & Dramatic Society (EODS)

EODS are delighted to bring to you Hello, Dolly!, the blockbuster Broadway Musical that bursts with humour, romance and high-energy dancing. The story follows the romantic and comic exploits of widow Dolly Gallagher-Levi the turn-of-the-20th century "woman who arranges things”. Dolly is always on hand to meddle, manipulate and play matchmaker to anyone who pays for her expertise.

Dolly is employed to play matchmaker by a wealthy client but decides she’s going to marry miserly half-a-millionaire hay & feed dealer Horace Vandergelder herself, and so the fun begins. Along the way to finding herself a new husband we see Dolly having regular touching chats with her late husband Ephraim, seeking his approval to find love again. The tale moves fast but Dolly still finds the time to play cupid for the hapless Cornelius Hackl and Milliner Irene Molloy and their counterparts Barnaby Tucker and Minnie Fay.

Hello Dolly! is certain to thrill and entertain audiences so don’t miss out on memorable songs such as Put On Your Sunday Clothes, Ribbons Down My Back, Before the Parade Passes By, Hello, Dolly!, Elegance, and It Only Takes a Moment.

This is an amateur production.
