Hello, Dolly!: Difference between revisions

* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: Dolly Levi is an interesting case, as she is played by Barbra Streisand in the film, and the character in the play is presumably Irish-American (her maiden name is Gallagher) and intermarried, but in both cases speaks with a "Yiddish" rhythm and is a good fit for the stereotypical matchmaker of Jewish humor (compare her with Yente of ''[[Fiddler on the Roof]]'').

* [[Audience Monologue]]: The stage musical contains several, mainly holdovers from ''The Matchmaker'', where they were used even more extensively. For the most part, they were excised from the movie version.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Holy cabooses!"

* [[Epic Song]]: The title Song, of course!
