'Hello, Dolly!' by Castle Craig Players - My Review
I recommend this production that will open on Aug. 7 and run through Aug. 16. Seating is limited and opening night is already sold out.
The Castle Craig Players of Meriden are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the (ten) Tony Award winning Best Musical, ‘Hello, Dolly’ with an excellent production that opens on August 7 at the Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse in Meriden. Ian Galligan directs the musical that is based on ‘The Matchmaker’ by Thornton Wilder. Andrew Gadwah serves as musical director and plays all the wonderful music by Jerry Herman on the piano.
Mr. Galligan has many directing credits, as well as some memorable on-stage credits (I will never forget the first time I saw him as Bud Frump in ‘How to Succeed’ at Seven Angels.) He has proven himself to be a talented director/choreographer and it shows in this always entertaining “good old-fashioned Broadway musical.” In his bio, he sends a huge thank you to this “amazing” cast and rightly so, because he has assembled a bevy of talented singer/dancers to portray the various roles. Having Mr. Gadwah behind the theater’s piano once again is frothy icing on the cake.
