Hello, Dolly . . . and Dolly . . . and Dolly!
MLC’s musical weekend had an extra touch of “Elegance” this year. We welcomed 26 cast members and staff from the 1970 and 1995 productions of Hello, Dolly! as they reunited on campus to see this year’s production. They shared memories, took photos, toured campus, enjoyed a complimentary buffet dinner, and had great seats for the show.
Karen Hasley DMLC ’71 played Dolly more than 50 years ago, but she remembers the show very well. “My favorite memory is dear Prof. Glenn Barnes DMLC ’60 saying to me as an aside—and as if he was delighted that he’d gone way over his budget: “My wife and I loved that production so much, we went to all four shows!”
