One of the most beloved shows in Broadway history that tells the story of Dolly Gallagher-Levi, turn-of-the-century matchmaker newly arrived in Yonkers. All the elements of humor, romance, energetic dance, and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history (including “Before the Parade Passes By” and “Put on Your Sunday Clothes”) are to be found here  – cleverly squeezed down to fit the Act II stage!
