Put on your Sunday clothes

Broadway has come to the Joseph Papp Theatre at Edward R. Murrow High School on May 11, 12, 13, and 14 for a production of “Hello, Dolly!”

The students at Murrow will be putting on this most wonderful musical based on the Thornton Wilder’s 1938 farce, “The Merchant of Yonkers” with music by Jerry Herman.

Matchmaker Dolly Levi takes a trip to Yonkers to see the “well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire,” Horace Vandergelder and gives him very sound advice: “On those cold winter nights, Horace, you can snuggle up to your cash register. It’s a little lumpy but it rings.”

“Hello, Dolly!” on May 11 at 3:30 pm, May 12 at 5 pm, May 13 at 7 pm, and May 14 at 2 pm and 8 pm. Tickets are $12 for the May 11, and May 14, (2 pm) showing; and $15 for May 12, May 13, May 14 (8 pm show). You can purchase tickets online or at the door.

Joseph Papp Theatre at Edward R. Murrow High School [1600 Avenue L and E. 17th Street in Midwood, (718) 258–9283, www.ermurrohs.org].
