Hello, Dolly! on stage at Music Mountain Theatre

“Hello, Dolly!” running weekends through April 7, is the fourth mainstage show of Music Mountain Theatre’s 2024 season, and the first to premiere on the Martinson Stage at MMT in Lambertville, N.J.

The stage was so named following a ribbon-cutting ceremony March 14, in honor of John H. Martinson, a generous supporter of MMT.

Based on the play, “The Matchmaker,” by Thornton Wilder, “Hello, Dolly!” boasts a book by Michael Stewart, with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. This legendary musical follows the romantic and comedic exploits of Dolly Gallagher Levi, turn-of-the-century meddlesome matchmaker and “woman who arranges things” as she brings together a few lovelorn couples while forging her own path in a world which constantly underestimates her.

Following her performance as Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard,” Anna Hentz is back on the MMT stage as Dolly Gallagher Levi. Rounding out the cast are Jonathan Wierzbicki, Patrick Mertz, Libby Kane, Alex Klein, Madison Kotnarowski, and an ensemble of many familiar MMT faces performing such beloved classics as “It Takes a Woman,” “Ribbons Down My Back,” “Before the Parade Passes By,” and “Put On Your Sunday Clothes.”

Guests are invited to put on their own best Sunday clothes for the matinee performance on March 31, Easter Sunday, to receive a sweet Easter treat.
