The last strains of music die away and the auditorium fills with applause. The spring musical. Hello. Dolly! ' is a success. After nine long weeks of late practices, the cast finally displayed their finished product in the form of an excellent performance. The play tells the story of Dolly Levi, a matchmaker, played by senior Wendy Boe- lens. She is employed by Horace Vander- gelder (Senior Chad Bear), a wealthy store owner, to find him a wife. But Dolly has other plans in mind. She sets up an engagement between Horace and Mrs. Irene Molloy (Sen- ior Linda Maiorca), a hatmaker. However, Dolly manages to pull a few strings and breaks up that arrangement. Then she con- vinces Horace that he really does want to marry Dolly, and no one else. Throughout all of this, Dolly sets up other romances for Mrs. Molloy and her assistant. In the end, there are several marriages, all set up by Dolly, including her own. This production, directed by Roger Zawacki, was the most expensive musical ever produced at JHS and included over 100 costumes for twenty-eight cast members.
