Hello Dolly Poster
Call on Dolly
Call on Dolly

Where does she get all those cards?

When a man with a timid tongue... meets a girl with a diffident air...

Like luncheon parties, poker games... and lives
Don't cry on the lock -- it's just been oiled!
Fools!
You stamped, Mr. Vandergelder?
You're going to have a mistress
It takes a woman...
She'll work until infinity...
FEM - ITY!
To bring you the sweet things in life!
Sunday Clothes
The train to New York
All aboard!
Sunday clothes

Oh, it's all too much...
Cheries and feathers...
The hat shop
That hat... well... it's provocative!
Ribbons down my back

There's a man in there!
Ripple, ripple...
That great American... Moses!
March, march, march!

Parade passes by...

I paid for her... I want all the parts!
We've got elegance
Make the service twice as fast

Chicken? I just love chicken!

Hello, Dolly!
Those good old days...
Polka competition

A polka competition

Dolly, you're reponsible for this
Chaos ensues
A man who once had a wonderful day
It only takes a moment...
You're free... you're all free
Don't try to stop me Horace... please!
What's going on down there?
The babbling idiot
I don't want you to find me a new wife
Curtain call
Curtain call again

"Belle" (sorry for blurry photo)
Start paying attention to "more important things."
"I have to get inside to help my father!"
"My daughter? Odd? Where would you get an idea like that?"
No Matter What

"It works!"
"That's not a nightingale and not a mating call! Wolves!"
Father in the castle
"Say it isn't so..."
"It's so."
"You would... take his place?"
"I'm never going to see him again and you didn't even let me say goodbye!"
"I'll show you to your room."
"If you think that what you've done is right..."
Is This Home?
"and to think... I complained... of that dull provincial town"
"We're here to see you through."
"Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston?"
"Where is she?"
"She's not coming."
"So you admit you're being a bully!"
"Fine... then starve!"
"Now you really tickle my fancy."
"and in my twisted face... there's not the slightest trace... of anything that even hints at kindness"
"No pain could be deeper... no life could be cheaper... no point anymore if I can't love her."
Maison des Lunes
"but you must!"
"Tale as old as time... true as it can be"
"Ever just the same... ever a surprise..."
"bittersweet and strange; finding you can change, learning you were wrong..."

"No spell has been broken... no words have been spoken"
"always be... in this hopeless state..."
"It's funny - When I look around, I see the whole world differently."
A Change in Me

"I never thought I'd leave behind my childhood dreams..."
"Wait! I can prove my father's not crazy!"
"So it's time to take some action, boys... It's time to follow me!"
"we don't like what we don't understand; in fact it scares us and this monster is mysterious at least"
"Kill the beast!"

"She sent me here to destroy you!"
"Belle... you came back?"

"If only I'd come sooner"
