Broadway's 'Hello, Dolly!' starring Sally Struthers comes to The Classic Center Theatre Nov. 21

ATHENS, Ga. – The Broadway classic “Hello, Dolly!” starring Sally Struthers is coming to The Classic Center Theatre Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m.

The performance is the first in The Classic Center Theatre’s 2013-2014 Broadway Entertainment Series.

Two-time Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Sally Struthers stars as the strong-willed matchmaker Dolly, who travels to Yonkers, N.Y., to find a match for the ornery "well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder.

Best known for her work as Gloria in the legendary television series “All in the Family” and more recently as Babette on “Gilmore Girls,” Struthers’ career has spanned four decades. In addition to her ubiquitous television career, she has sparkled on the musical theater stage nationwide with featured roles in Broadway productions of “Annie,” “Grease” and “The Odd Couple,” and regionally in “The Full Monty,” “Mame,” “Legally Blonde” and “Chicago.”

With an irresistible story and an unforgettable score including classics such as, “Hello, Dolly!”, “Put on Your Sunday Clothes,” “It Only Takes a Moment,” and the show-stopping “Before the Parade Passes By,” the musical has been delighting audiences around the world since 1964.

Winner of 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Choreography, “Hello, Dolly!” features music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart. Since its multi-Tony Award winning Broadway premiere in 1964, the show has had three Broadway revivals and boundless international success, as well as a film adaptation that was nominated for seven Academy Awards in 1969.  

This brand new sparkling production starring Sally Struthers is not be missed, as she reprises the role that led The Florida Times – Union to rave “Sally Struthers shines in Hello, Dolly! She is a force of nature … and charms a lot!”
