INDIANAPOLIS — The Matchmaker, the basis for the Tony Award-winning musical Hello, Dolly!, takes center stage at the Buck Creek Playhouse (11150 Southeastern Avenue) beginning Fri., March 30, and running two weekends through Sun., April 8. Curtain times are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday.
The Matchmaker, written by one of America’s most beloved playwrights, Thornton Wilder, is a farcical delight set in 19th century New York City. Ms. Dolly Levi does her best to “match” up all of the young lovers. The situation quickly turns to utter pandemonium as everyone tries to sort through identities and relationships. Yet somehow Dolly negotiates all of these complexities, bringing everything to a hysterical and happy conclusion.
Directed by Melissa DeVito, admission is $18 for adults and $16 for children, students, and senior citizens (ages 62 and up).
