West Windsor - Yardley Players is pleased to celebrate the golden age of the American musical at Kelsey Theatre with the comedic masterpiece ‘Hello, Dolly!’ The show runs weekends from Friday, April 28 through Sunday, May 7 with matinee and evening performances. Kelsey Theatre is located at 1200 Old Trenton Road on the Mercer County Community College campus in West Windsor. 

Based on the Thornton Wilder play “The Matchmaker,” “Hello, Dolly!” is a must-see musical for the whole family. The play went on to earn over ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score for authors Michael Stewart and Jerry Herman. 

The turn-of- the-20th century romance, bursting with music and energy, centers around Dolly Levi — a New Yorker who is a widow, a matchmaker (and professional meddler) who decides that her next match is to find someone for herself. Boisterous and charming, the show features memorable tunes such as “It Only Takes Moment,” “Before the Parade Passes By,” “It Takes a Woman,” and, of course, the heralded show-stopping number “Hello Dolly.”
