TABLE OF CONTENTS Message from the President & CEO ..................... 5 Hello, Dolly! ....................................................... 11 Co-sponsored by Aetna and Travelers Annual Fund Donor Honor Roll ......................... 25 An Extra Special Thank You ............................... 31 The Bushnell Services ....................................... 36 | 3 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO Back Where She Belongs I’m very excited that The Bushnell is presenting two of the most recent Tony Award-winning musicals this season: 2017’s Dear Evan Hansen and 2018’s The Band’s Visit. It’s gratifying that producers of the latest hits look to us as the first place they want their shows to run in Connecticut. But I’m just as pleased to be presenting the 1964 Tony Award winner, Hello, Dolly!, the show you’re here to see today in its 2017 Tony-winning Best Revival incarnation. As we celebrate our 90th anniversary this season, it’s satisfying to take a look back at the place The Bushnell has held in our region’s theatrical history. Broadway’s original Dolly, Carol Channing, toured the show across the country numerous times. The shot below of Channing with William Mortensen, The Bushnell’s founding Managing Director, is a meaningful way to connect our past to the present. Miss Channing was synonymous with Dolly for decades, but the role has proven to be at least as iconic as the performer who created her. We’re thrilled to have Carolee Carmello as the latest in a long line of extraordinarily talented women who have brought to life the formidable Dolly Levi. Whether we’re bringing you the latest hit direct from New York or a new version of a time-honored classic, we’re grateful that you’ve chosen to spend time with us at The Bushnell. Thank you for your support and enjoy this visit to early 20th century Yonkers in Hello, Dolly! Sincerely, David R.
