Musical. "Hello, Dolly!" is a musical with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart. The story is based on Thornton Wilder's 1938 farce "The Merchant of Yonkers", which Wilder revised and retitled "The Matchmaker" in 1955. The musical follows the story of Dolly Levi, a widowed matchmaker who travels to Yonkers, New York, to find a wife for the wealthy Horace Vandergelder.
