The Show Award winning actress Imelda Staunton returns to the West End in 2020 to headline Hello Dolly. The musical follows socialite and meddlesome matchmaker Dolly Levi, on her way to New York to match the miserable and grumbly, 'half-a-millionaire', Horace Vandergelder. But Dolly is feeling a little bit lonely herself and has set her eyes on Horace, time for her to make her own match.
