Hello, Dolly!

Dolly Levi, a spirited widow and professional matchmaker, arrives in Yonkers, New York, with the intention of finding a match for the grumpy "half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder. Secretly, Dolly plans to win him for herself. She convinces Horace to take a trip into New York City to court Irene Molloy, a beautiful widow who owns a hat shop. Meanwhile, Horace's two clerks, Cornelius and Barnaby, venture into the city seeking adventure and romance, leading to a series of comedic misadventures.

As Dolly cleverly orchestrates events, she encourages Horace to be more open to enjoyment and less miserly. She also aids Cornelius and Barnaby in their quest for love, arranging encounters that challenge societal norms and bring unexpected joy. Alongside the growing romantic entanglements, the bustling city setting provides a grand backdrop filled with elaborate musical numbers and delightful performances. By the film’s midpoint, friendships and budding romances are put to the test as characters face their fears and desires, setting the stage for eventual transformations and resolutions.
