In Hello, Dolly!, according to Amas, "the cantankerous Horace Vandergelder hires matchmaker Dolly Levi to find him a wife. Dolly soon hatches a plan to woo and win Vandergelder's hand herself, while simultaneously arranging romantic prospects for his niece, his clerks and two of Manhattan’s most eligible shop girls."

Based on the "The Matchmaker" by Thornton Wilder, Hello, Dolly! features a book by Michael Stewart and a score by Jerry Herman.

Other members of the creative team include Graham W.S. Yeager (lighting design), Dustin Cross (costume design), Josh Iacovelli (set design/production supervisor) and Meghan Fisher (stage manager).
