It will take a few months before discovering Hello, Dolly! In the meantime, rediscover some extracts from the American production which is still on tour:
Hello,
Do you know if the actors go out after the performance to sign autographs?
Thank you in advance and good day
Hello Capucine,
Please vote your message.
If you go to the artists' entrance after the show, there's a good chance the actors will be able to sign programs and take photos. There is unfortunately no guarantee but it is worth a try!
With current sanitary conditions, these outings may change, I will let you know as soon as possible!
Have a good day
