Australia’s leading lady of musical theatre Marina Prior stars in one of the most enduring musicals of all time, Hello, Dolly! Dolly Levi, the irrepressible matchmaker from New York, has an idea for the perfect match – the tight-fisted, local merchant Horace Vandergelder and herself!
Not a new Broadway show stopper, but very good production of a classic. Good for young people too. And, the venue is wonderful. History and nary a bad seat in the house. Only 14 rows or so downstairs.
Congratulations to the creative team and performers. This was the best production of DOLLY I've seen. The choreography didn't always support the high energy of the overall production, but other than that the show was marvelous from start to finish.
We came to DC with our children and Parents. The musical was great for all ages!! The small theatre made it so amazing!! It was even more amazing being in a historical site!! This was a hilight of our family vacation!!!
The singers were excellent. I did wonder how they could perform this play - which requires a number of sets and large scenes in Ford's. They did it with all of the magic that is possible in the theater. With the same basic props you were in a feed store, a hat store, and an elegant restaurant. The two lead actors carried off the roles of Dolly and Horace with great voices and acting. The secondary characters were their equals. Even the chorus members who were the parade crowd, the customers and the wait staff made you feel there were more of them than actually present. I saw Hello, Dolly! with Carol Channing years ago, this was just as enjoyable. If you haven't seen it, this is a great production and a bargain price. GO!!!
Delightful. Great performance of a fun play. Whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. Ford's Theater is an awesome venue.
the voices were amazing, the costumes and sets were wonderful. such a small venue you were part of the show. Thank you to the cast for including us. it was a wonderful. my 10 year old niece said "i'm breathing the same air that Lincoln breathed" - it was an fabulous show in a perfect theatre.
Wonderful production - great costumes, dancing, singing.
The ensemble was incredible. A very entertaining show.
Hello Dolly in DC was worth the ticket price. Cast was FANTASTIC and seats couldn't have been better.
I must confess that this was a gift for my wife who is a discerning fan of all that is theatrical. It was delightful and funny show. The actors were well suited for their roles and the talent was amazing. I did not realize the amount of dancing in the show until I thought back later. It must have been exhausting to do two shows a day. I considered this money well spent and a wonderful time in a historic setting.
This was truly remarkable! The talented cast and amazing scenery and choreography came together to make the audience feel like we were right there with the actors.
The show is great -- the production is very, very good and I would highly recommend it. I would go see it again :-).
As it turned out, watching a performance of Hello Dolly at the historic Fords Theatre was the perfect end to our stay in Washington D.C.! The set - though fairly minimalist - worked perfectly, the cast was energetic, fun to watch and listen to, and the actors perfectly suited for their roles. Plus of course there is just something special about being in Fords Theatre to watch a play. We really enjoyed the show and so will you!
Wonderful voices - Nancy Opel in the role of Dolly is amazing. Dancing and singing feels like Broadway. The waiters scene was amazing with leaps and jumps - great tap dance number. Dolly's entrance and the waiters singing the Hello Dolly number can't be beat. The hat store scene is hilarious. The train station set is clever. Loved the costumes.
Very entertaining. Time just flew by. Worst moment: Ford Theatre employee who ran up and down the aisle shining her flashlight on people using cameras ruined the finale.
The cast is small but the energy is high! The leads were great, and the choreography was great too. The plot is a little thinner than I remember, but the music was amazing and well performed.
Very well acted and choreographed show. And, of course, the songs were fantastic.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening for those that love musicals. The story is simple and the singing great. Two hours that will take you away and having you tapping your toe to the music.
Very good show, the performers were unbelievably talented.
Beautiful production, voices were strong and pleasing, the dancers added so much to the overall experience. Love going to events at the Ford Theatre when I visit DC - there isn't a bad seat! Enjoyed it very much, kudos to the cast, orchestra, set design and crew - thanks for the entertainment.
