Hello, Dolly!

Join us for a special installment of Classic Tuesday featuring Hello, Dolly!  Max Tucci, culinary historian, restauranteur and Delmonico’s global brand officer and third generation partner, will introduce the film, which is set prominently in Delmonico’s restaurant.

Since 1827, Delmonico’s has defined the epitome of elegance, attracting America’s most illustrious luminaries including Oscar Wilde, Cary Grant, Eartha Kitt, John F. Kennedy, Lena Horne, Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and Gypsy Rose Lee. It has been featured in many films over the years. 

All ticket holders will also receive a Delmonico’s signature cocktail and specialty popcorn with a choice of Delmonico’s seasonings, straight from the restaurant.

One of Barbra Streisand’s most beloved performances is that of the indomitable Dolly Levi in this hugely popular musical that received a Best Picture Academy Award Nomination in 1969. It’s turn-of-the-century Yonkers, New York, where an ambitious young widow with a penchant for matchmaking (Streisand) has an idea for the perfect match – tight-fisted, local merchant Horace Vandergelder (Walter Matthau) and – herself! As she tries to win his heart, we’re treated to one of the most musically entertaining, hilariously underhanded plots in film history. Directed by Gene Kelly, this Oscar winner for Sound, Adaptation Score and Art Direction is among the world’s most cherished films.

“A magical, old-fashioned musical.”

– Nell Minow, Common Sense Media

“Streisand is a unique performer, with that inborn vitality which marks great personalities.”

– Variety
