Who doesn’t want to talk about Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, Bernadette Peters and all the other Dolly’s of Broadway? We spoke to Grace Clarke - arguably one of the biggest Hello Dolly fans around - about this classic Broadway tale!

This week Julie, Miranda, and Zane will chat with Grace Clarke about which of life's truths can be gleaned from her current musical obsession and overall classic musical Hello Dolly!

The New York Times theatre critic Howard Taubman wrote:

Hello, Dolly! ... has qualities of freshness and imagination that are rare in the run of our machine-made musicals. It transmutes the broadly stylized mood of a mettlesome farce into the gusto and colors of the musical stage. ... Mr. Herman's songs are brisk and pointed and always tuneful ... a shrewdly mischievous performance by Carol Channing. ... Making the necessary reservations for the unnecessary vulgar and frenzied touches, one is glad to welcome Hello, Dolly! for its warmth, color and high spirits.
