Mainland Regional High School presents "Hello, Dolly!"

originally published: 03/11/2025

(LINWOOD, NJ) -- Mainland Regional High School presents its spring musical, Hello, Dolly!, a dazzling Broadway classic, with four performances from March 20-22, 2025. Filled with lively dance numbers, stunning costumes, and unforgettable music, Hello, Dolly! is a heartwarming tale of love, adventure, and the pursuit of happiness.

The musical follows the charming and enterprising Dolly Levi, a widow and matchmaker who sets out to arrange a marriage for the wealthy but curmudgeonly Horace Vandergelder. As Dolly orchestrates a series of comedic and romantic entanglements, she soon realizes that she may just be the perfect match for Horace herself. With beloved songs such as Put On Your Sunday ClothesBefore the Parade Passes By, and Hello, Dolly!, the show is a celebration of life, love, and second chances.

Under the direction of Philip Pallitto, this production features a talented cast and crew of over 65 students, both on and off stage, bringing the timeless story to life with energy, passion, and show-stopping performances. The production team also includes Musical Director Derek Rohaly, Vocal Director Jenn Camillo, Choreographer Clare Eger, Technical Director James Sundra, and Costume Designer Julie Jackson.

Performances take place March 20, 21, and 22 at 7:00pm, with a special matinee performance on March 22 at 1:00pm. Tickets are $15 and are available for purchase online or at the door before each performance. Mainland Regional High School Auditorium is located at 1301 Oak Avenue in Linwood, New Jersey.

Director Philip Pallitto shares his excitement about the production: “Bringing Hello, Dolly! to the Mainland stage has been an incredible journey. This show is a testament to the power of joy, resilience, and community, and our students have worked tirelessly to bring it to life with authenticity and energy. We can’t wait for audiences to experience the magic of this timeless classic.”
