Tickets for Hello, Dolly! in London are available now! A true musical legend, it won a record-breaking 10 Tony Awards in 1964 during its original run, including Best Musical and Best Actress in a Musical for Carol Channing. Thornton Wilder's 1938 play The Merchant of Yonkers focused on Horace Vandergelder's quest for love, not Dolly's matchmaking schemes. Wilder later reworked the play into The Matchmaker, where Dolly blossomed into the star of the show. The show features timeless music by Jerry Herman, the composer behind hits like La Cage aux Folles and Mame.
It's 19th-century New York City, and love is in the air for everyone – except the grumpy half-millionaire Horace Vandergelder, who needs a wife quickly. Enter Dolly Levi, a flamboyant matchmaker with a twinkle in her eye and a plan in her pocket. But watch out, Horace, because Dolly's got a plan of her own, and it involves a healthy dose of matchmaking magic… for herself! Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of romance, mistaken identities, and show-stopping musical numbers. Will love bloom for our favorite matchmaker? Find out in this heartwarming, toe-tapping production of Hello, Dolly!
This revival brings the magic of legendary composer Jerry Herman to life. Belt out to iconic tunes like "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" and the showstopping title number, "Hello, Dolly!"

Wonderful cast and a classic musical we were traveling through London and had time to see one show we chose Hello Dolly it was a real treat to see Imelda Staunton live on stage what a talented lady.
I REALLY enjoyed seeing Hello Dolly! Imelda Staunton embodied the character of Dolly Levy and the rest of the cast was equally as good. The stage (with a moving sidewalk and background) made the action come alive. The orchestra was strong but never overpowered the performers. One downside...the seats in the upper level were not offset. This meant that at time I had a difficult time seeing the stage.
It was an outstanding show. The lead is so good. Wish you all gave out some kind of a program as a keepsake. To have to pay 12 pounds is too much!
The show was great, good songs, great dancing and good seats. Had to download the app because attached tickets never came via email.
Absolutely awesome show - BRILLIANT cast, everything about it - orchestra, scenery, etc was fantastic, such a joyful show - couldn't fault anything.
