Star Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...The energy, color and life that Michael Brindisi puts to this effort at least give "Dolly" a Chanhassen chance. You must be willing, however, to leap past a wispy and creaky scenario. My legs are too old to make that jump, and I can't remember where I put that liniment bottle."

"...Hello, Dolly! is not a show that deals with particularly weighty issues, although it’s far from saccharine. What it is is an excellent escapist comedy with sterling performances, catchy songs, and witty dialogue that makes you yearn for the old days–and enough lively dancing to vicariously burn off your meal."

"...There's a difference between quaint and antiquated, and "Hello, Dolly!" feels more like the latter. Again, that's where Brindisi and his powerhouse cast take over.

Much of the second act takes place at the Harmonia Gardens restaurant and the chorus members playing waiters nearly steal the show with an intensely physical dance performance that left sweat glistening on their brows."
