...take to the road in a 30th anniversary tour of Hello, Dolly!, two questions sprang to mind: Just how ancient is Carol Channing, anyway? and Why would anyone want to see yet another version of that sappy, mediocre show? Here are the answers: 73, but capable of delivering an ageless performance that reminds theatergoers of what it means to see a star; and this particular Hello, Dolly! is a superb production of one of the happiest creations in all of musical comedy.
