London will be saying \u2018Hello\u2019 to Dolly this month when the classic musical Hello, Dolly!<\/a> opens at the London Palladium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starring the legendary Imelda Staunton, Hello, Dolly!<\/a> was first produced in 1963 and tells the story of socialite turned matchmaker Dolly Levi. We follow Dolly as she travels to Yonkers, New York to find a match for an unmarried half-millionaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This production follows on from Dominic Cooke\u2019s critically acclaimed production of Stephen Sondheim\u2019s Follies at the National Theatre. With music and lyrics by Jerry Herman (La Cage aux Follies), and a book by Michael Stewart (42nd Street), Hello, Dolly!<\/a> is not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book your Hello, Dolly!<\/a> tickets now online or via the LSBO<\/a> website. Playing from 6 July to 14 September at the London Palladium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Including Antony Lawrence as Shrek, Joanne Clifton as Princess Fiona, James Gillan as Lord Farquaad, Brandon Lee Sears as Donkey, and Cherece Richards as Dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
