As a producing theatre company, CDT is one of thefew theatres in the Twin Cities with facilities tocreate all production elements from scratch. Frominitial concepts of scenic design to costume creationto choreography, music, lighting, sound and props-everything is created at Chanhassen.

After a play title is chosen, the director worksclosely with the design team in development. Oncedesigners understand the director's vision, theybegin researching and creating. The scenic designercreates a scenic plot on paper and then makes ascale model of the set, set pieces and backdrops.The costume designer sketches costume renderingsand selects fabric swatches for each costume. Fromthese drawings, costume artisans hand-makepatterns and begin stitching away. Main Stageproductions have included up to 250 individualcostumes.

The properties master begins gathering the widerange of props called for in the script. Props arecreated in the scene shop–furniture, loaves ofbread, shrunken heads, foreign currencies andhairspray cans–each item hand-crafted to look likethe real thing according to the time period. It takesthe scene, costume and prop shops about twelveweeks to produce everything needed for the show.Items need to be made sturdily to handle wear andtear.

Behind the Scenes

From play selection to opening night-Check out the process of getting a CDT show on stage

Actors begin rehearsals just 2½ weeks prior toopening. When they arrive, they have their linesand much of the music prepared. Rehearsals arepacked with perfecting music, learningchoreography and blocking scenes. In-between, arecostume fittings and press interviews. During arehearsal period, many actors do double-duty; theyrehearse by day and perform the currently-runningproduction by night.

The currently-running production closes over theweekend, at which time the old set is removed tomake room for the new one. Over “Tech Week,”scenery is brought in, drops hung, special effects set,and the floor painted. Light and sound techniciansre-direct over 250 separate lighting instruments inaccordance with the designer's plot. Bodymicrophones are re-plotted and all sound cuesrecorded. Finishing touches are made to costumes,scenery is put into place and the production stagemanager coordinates the details and communication.

Everything comes together for the actors' first stagerehearsal. The director, cast, orchestra and designteam work to make sure that everything is seamless.Can you believe the company has only three days tomake this happen before opening night? It's nothingshort of amazing that a new musical can be createdin such a short time. Another op'nin’, another show!

The musical director re-works the musical scorefor Chanhassen's live, professional orchestra andrehearses with musicians. The choreographerworks closely with the director and music directorto create actors' movements for dance and musicalnumbers. Sound and lighting designers plottechnical components to create effect and mood.The makeup and hair designer develops a specificlook for every character.

well-known half-a-millionaire, but it soon becomes clear that Dolly intends to marry Horace herself. AmbroseKemper, a young artist, wants to marry Horace's weepy niece Ermengarde, but Horace opposes this becauseAmbrose's vocation does not guarantee a steady living. Ambrose enlists Dolly's help, and they travel to visitHorace in Yonkers, New York, where he is a prominent citizen and owns Vandergelder's Hay and Feed.

Horace explains to his two clerks, Cornelius Hackl and Barnaby Tucker, that he is going to get marriedbecause "It Takes a Woman" to cheerfully do all the household chores. He plans to travel with Dolly to New YorkCity to march in the Fourteenth Street Association Parade and propose to the widowed hat shop owner IreneMolloy. Dolly arrives in Yonkers and "accidentally" mentions that Irene's first husband might not have died ofnatural causes, and also mentions that she knows an heiress, Ernestina Money, who may be interested in Horace.Horace leaves for New York after telling Cornelius and Barnaby to mind the store.

Cornelius decides that he and Barnaby also need to get out of Yonkers and have an adventure of theirown. They resolve to go to New York, have a good meal, spend all their money, see the stuffed whale in Barnum'smuseum, almost get arrested and each kiss a girl! They blow up some tomato cans causing a terrible stench inorder to create a good reason to close the store. Dolly mentions that she knows two ladies in New York theyshould call on: Irene Molloy and her shop assistant, Minnie Fay. She also tells Ermengarde and Ambrose that she'llenter them in the polka competition at the upscale Harmonia Gardens Restaurant in New York City so thatAmbrose can demonstrate his ability to be a bread winner. Cornelius, Barnaby, Ambrose, Ermengarde and Dollyall take the train to New York ("Put on Your Sunday Clothes").

Meanwhile, in New York, Irene and Minnie open their hat shop for the afternoon. Irene wants a husbandbut does not love Horace Vandergelder. She declares that she will wear an elaborate hat to impress a gentleman("Ribbons Down My Back"). Cornelius and Barnaby arrive at the shop pretending to be rich. Soon after, Horaceand Dolly also arrive at the shop, and Cornelius and Barnaby are forced to hide. Irene inadvertently mentions thatshe knows Cornelius Hackl, and Dolly tells her and Horace that even though Cornelius is Horace's clerk by day,he's a New York playboy by night; he's one of the Hackls. Minnie screams when she finds Cornelius hiding in thearmoire. Horace is about to open the armoire himself, but Dolly distracts him with patriotic sentiments("Motherhood"). Cornelius sneezes, and Horace storms out, realizing there are men hiding in the shop, but notknowing they are his clerks.

Dolly arranges for Cornelius and Barnaby, who are still pretending to be rich, to take the ladies out todinner at the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant to make up for their humiliation. She teaches Cornelius and Barnabyhow to dance since there is always dancing at such establishments ("Dancing"). Soon, Cornelius, Irene, Barnabyand Minnie are happily dancing. They go to watch the great Fourteenth Street Association Parade together.

Alone, Dolly decides to put her dearly departed husband, Ephram behind her and to move on with life("Before the Parade Passes By"). She asks Ephram's permission to marry Horace, requesting a sign from him. Dollycatches up with the annoyed Vandergelder, who has missed the whole parade, and convinces him to give hermatchmaking one more chance. She tells Horace that Ernestina Money would be perfect for him and arranges forhim to meet the heiress and asks him to meet her at the swanky Harmonia Gardens that same evening.

Cornelius is determined to get a kiss before the night is over, but Barnaby isn't so sure. As the clerks haveno money for a carriage, they tell the girls that walking to the restaurant instead shows that they've got"Elegance". At Harmonia Gardens, Rudolph, the head waiter, prepares his service crew for Dolly Levi's return.Their usual lightning service, he tells them, must be "twice as lightning" ("The Waiters' Gallop"). Horace arriveswith his date, Ernestina, but she proves neither as rich nor as elegant as Dolly had implied; furthermore she issoon bored by Horace and leaves, just as Dolly had planned she would.

At the turn of the 20th century, all of New York City is excited because brassy widow DollyGallagher Levi is in town ("Call On Dolly"). Dolly makes a living through what she calls "meddling"–matchmaking and numerous sidelines, including dance instruction and mandolin lessons ("I PutMy Hand In"). She is currently seeking a wife for grumpy Horace Vandergelder, the grumpy

Barnaby and Horace both hail waiters at the same time, and in the ensuing confusion their wallets areinadvertently switched. Barnaby is delighted that he can now pay the restaurant bill, while Horace finds littlemore than spare change. Barnaby and Cornelius realize that the wallet must belong to Horace. Cornelius, Irene,Barnaby, and Minnie try to sneak out during the "The Polka Contest", but Horace recognizes them and spotsErmengarde and Ambrose as well. The ensuing free-for-all culminates in a trip to night court. For everyone.

Cornelius and Barnaby confess that they have no money and have never been to New York before.Cornelius declares that he will always fondly remember the day he met Irene even if he has to dig ditches therest of his life. Cornelius, Barnaby, and Ambrose then each profess their love for their companion ("It Only TakesA Moment"). Dolly convinces the judge that their only crime was being in love. The judge finds everyone innocentand cleared of all charges. Everyone, that is except Horace, who is declared guilty and forced to pay damages.Dolly mentions marriage again, and Horace declares that he wouldn't marry her even if she were the last womanin the entire world. Dolly angrily bids him "So Long, Dearie," telling him that when he's bored and lonely, she'llbe living the high life.

The next morning back at the hay and feed store, Cornelius and Irene, Barnaby and Minnie, along withAmbrose and Ermengarde each set out on their new paths in life. A chastened Horace Vandergelder finally admitsthat he needs Dolly in his life, but Dolly is unsure about the marriage,B3 until he repeats an old saying of her latehusband: "Money is like manure. It's not worth a thing unless it's spread about, encouraging young things to grow."Dolly believes this to be at he sign she requested from Ephram and agrees to marry Horace. He tells Dolly lifewould be dull without her, and she promises in return that she'll "never go away again" ("Hello, Dolly” [reprise]).

Hello, Dolly! officially marked its 50thanniversary on January 16, 2014, having opened onBroadway in 1964. In recognition of the anniversary,composer and lyricist Jerry Herman sent a message tothe original cast of the show, which he shared on hiswebsite, www.jerryherman.com:

Dear Dolly Alumni, Happy 50th Anniversary! I want to personally thank you for your talent, your loyalty, and your wonderful contribution to making this milestone possible. All I can say is -- "Wa, wa, wow, fellas; Look at the old girl now, fellas!" With thanks and love, Jerry Herman

The show’s origin can be traced back to A Day WellSpent, John Oxernford's 1835 English play about twostore clerks on a wild tear in London. It was adaptedby Johann Nestroy into a German farce called Einen JuxWill er Sich Machen, which, in 1938, Thornton Wilderturned into the play The Merchant of Yonkers. In it,Wilder introduced the character of Mrs. Levi. Audiencereaction to the character so pleased Wilder that hetinkered with the piece and re-released it in 1955 asThe Matchmaker with Dolly as the lead character. TheMatchmaker was a hit in the 1955-56 Broadway season,directed by Tyrone Guthrie, who won the 1956 Tony forBest Director.

When Hello, Dolly! was first produced on Broadwayit won a record 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical,and held that record for 37 years. The show album“Hello, Dolly! An Original Cast Recording” was inductedinto the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002. The show hasbecome one of the most enduring musical theatre hits,enjoying three Broadway revivals and internationalsuccess.

The role of Dolly Levi was originally written for EthelMerman, but Merman turned it down, as did Mary Martin(although each would later go on to play the role).Eventually, Carol Channing was cast and she created inDolly her signature role. Channing earned a Tony Awardfor her work and never missed a single performance.She later donated her famous red dress to theSmithsonian’s Natural Museum of American History.

Before heading to Broadway, Hello, Dolly!experienced rocky out-of-town tryouts in Detroit andWashington, D.C. After receiving the reviews, thecreators made major changes to the script and score,including the addition of Dolly’s song "Before the

Parade Passes By" and the cutting of“Penny in My Pocket,” which told ofHorace’s path to becoming a half-a-millionaire.

The show was originally entitledDolly, A Damned Exasperating Woman, and later

Call on Dolly but immediately upon hearing LouisArmstrong's version of the song "Hello, Dolly!" thecreative team renamed the show after the tune.Armstrong’s version of the song, which was recorded inthe lead up to the Broadway opening, became a numberone hit in May 1964.

During the 1967-68 season, an all-African-Americancompany brought Pearl Bailey to the role of Dolly,opposite Cab Calloway as Horace Vandergelder, and athen unknown 30 year old actor named MorganFreeman, making his Broadway debut as HarmoniaGardens’ head waiter, Rudolph. This casting gimmickhelped to boost ticket sales as the show entered it’s4th year on Broadway.

Hello, Dolly! Became one of the most iconicBroadway shows of its era, running for 2,844performances and closing on December 27, 1970. Duringthe late 60s, ten "blockbuster" musicals played over1,000 performances and only three played over 2,000,redefining "success" for the Broadway musical genre.Hello, Dolly! was (for a time) the longest-runningmusical in Broadway history, surpassing My Fair Ladyand then eventually being surpassed by Fiddler on theRoof.

A film version, directed by Gene Kelly and featuringBarbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford,Danny Lockin, Tommy Tune, Fritz Feld, MarianneMcAndrew, E. J. Peaker and Louis Armstrong hittheatres in 1969.

Most of the original Broadway score was kept forthe film, however Jerry Herman penned a new songespecially for Streisand. The new song, “Just LeaveEverything to Me,” replaced “I Put My Hand In.” Asecond addition, originally written for the show Mame,“Love is Only Love” was also added.

The film won three Academy Awards and wasnominated for four others. In April 2013, it was re-released in Blu-ray format.
