Kim Zimmer, who won four Daytime Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Guiding Light's Reva Shayne, has taken on another iconic character. For the first time in 25 years, The Barn Theatre is presenting Tony Award winning musical, "Hello, Dolly!" Zimmer stars as the beloved matchmaker Dolly Levi in the classic Broadway hit.

Based on Thornton Wilder's 1955 play "The Matchmaker," "Hello, Dolly!" centers around the country's most lovable Matchmaker, Dolly Levi. Humor and romance abounds when the widowed Dolly parades back into Yonkers, New York not only to arrange, meddle and match-up lonely hearts, but with marriage on her mind and a recipe for love in her pocket. With her eye on the impervious Horace, she hatches a scheme to win his heart and heal her own in the process.

Joining Zimmer in this fast-paced, feel-good musical is long-time Barn favorite Robin Haynes as Horace Vandergelder, and Patrick Hunter as Cornelius Hackl, 2nd year apprentice Josh Meredith as Barnaby Tucker, 2nd year apprentice Hannah Eakin as Irene Malloy, and Melissa Cotton as Minnie Fay. Also featured are Jamey Grisham as Ambrose Kemper, 3rd year apprentice Jillian Weimer as Ermengarde and the entire Barn company. Jerry Herman's magnificent score is full of memorable songs including "Put On Your Sunday Clothes," "It Takes a Woman," "Before the Parade Passes By," ""Hello, Dolly!","and "It Only Takes a Moment."
