The story

At the turn of the twentieth century, Dolly Gallagher Levi makes a living matchmaking and meddling in other people’s affairs. She is searching for a wife for wealthy, irritable Horace Vandergelder while privately planning to marry him herself. At the same time, young artist Ambrose Kemper seeks Dolly’s help to marry Horace’s niece Ermengarde despite Horace’s objections.

In the room

A bustling romantic musical comedy built from matchmaking, crossed intentions and several lives being rearranged at once between New York City and Yonkers.

Good fit if you like

matchmaking plots, romantic comedy, turn-of-the-century New York and meddlesome central characters.
