BRINGING ELEGANCE TO CARDENAL BELLUGA n 1890, all of New York City is excited because the widowed and brassy Dolly Levi is in town.

She travels to Yonkers, New York to visit Horace.

Horace tells his two clerks, Barnaby Tucker and Cornelius Hackl, that he is about to get married because "It Takes a Woman" to do all the household chores. Dolly comes to Yonkers and sends Horace to the city. Cornelius decides he and Barnaby need to leave Yonkers. They go to New York and on seeing Vandergelder in the street, they duck into a Hat shop run by Irene Molloy, and her shop assistant, Minnie Fay. After evading Vandergelder at the hat shop, they decide to take the two ladies on a night out in New York. Cornelius wants to get a kiss before the night is over. The clerks have no money to hire a carriage. They then tell the girls that walking to the restaurant shows that they have "Elegance". Cornelius, Barnaby and their dates arrive at the restaurant. They're not aware Horace is also at the restaurant. Cornelius is scared of being caught. He tells the ladies he and Barnaby didn't have any money all along. Irene knew the two men pretended being rich. It all ends up in carnage. Studio32 Musical Theatre Company’s show, ‘Hello Dolly’ will be performed at the Cardenal Beluga Theatre, San Fulgencio, from Wednesday 31st of May to Saturday 3rd of June.
