This blockbuster Broadway hit bursts with humour, romance, high-energy dancing and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history. Join socialite-turned-matchmaker Dolly Levi as she travels to Yonkers, New York to find a wife for the curmudgeonly “half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder. Dolly’s romantic scheming soon entangles Horace’s two clerks and a lovestruck young artist. As she busies herself finding mates for the suitors, Dolly realizes it’s her turn to find her own perfect match. One of the most entertaining musical comedies of all time, Hello, Dolly! is a beguiling romp in the universal search for love, with smash hits like “Put On Your Sunday Clothes,” “Before the Parade Passes By,” and, of course, the show-stopping “Hello, Dolly!” Based on the play “The Matchmaker” by Thornton Wilder Original production directed and choreographed by Gower Champion Produced for the Broadway Stage by David Merrick and Champion Five, Inc Presented through Special Arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC

PORTSMOUTH - "Emma", a sparkling and mischievous reimagining of Jane Austen's beloved classic, will be on stage at the Players Ring May 29 through June 21. Written by Kate Hamill and directed by Ro Gavin, the audience will see Emma Woodhouse as clever, charming, and perhaps a little too confident in her matchmaking abilities. Determined to orchestrate the romantic lives of everyone around her - while insisting she'll never marry herself - Emma soon discovers that love has a habit of ignoring even the best-laid plans. Playwright Kate Hamill infuses Austen's world with razor-sharp humor, contemporary energy, and delicious theatricality, turning Emma into a fast-paced comedy of vanity, flirtation, and glorious social missteps.
