“Hello, Dolly!” tells the story of Dolly Gallagher Levi's attempts to play matchmaker for Yonkers millionaire Horace Vandergelder. While it seems that Dolly is matching Horace with widow and hat shop proprietor Irene Molloy, Irene's plans to have an adventure align with Corneiluis Hackl's plans for adventure. Along for that same adventure is Irene's friend Minnie and Cornelius' friend Barnaby, resulting in a polka contest, an arrest, and true love prevailing.
