I had the privilege of seeing Hello Dolly! at the St. James Theater on Broadway in 1970 when Ethel Merman played Dolly Levi. But what I saw last evening at the Pioneer Center surpassed that production! Sally Struthers played the part to perfection. She brought out facets of the character I had never appreciated before, and the way she related to the audience when delivering her lines, humorously acting with perfect timing, and singing in all ranges, left an impact. The supporting cast was pure gold, along with fantastic sets, beautiful costumes, and outstanding lighting. The chorus singing and orchestra sizzled as it brought Jerry Herman's great score to life along with some new variations. This show proves that you don't have to work in vulgarity and a sleazy story line to entertain. If you missed Hello Dolly! you missed a great show!
