Studio Theatre Hello Dolly at the Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe

Studio Theatre's November 2006 production of Hello Dolly at the Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe
November 2006: Hello Dolly!

Our stunning production of Hello Dolly was staged at the Landmark Theatre, Ilfrcombe, Devon from 2nd to 4th November 2006.

Studio Theatre's 40-strong company was headed by Debbie Hadley, playing matchmaker, Dolly Levi, with Alan Bailey as Horace Vandergelder. Laurence Butler and Nathan Hammant were the young men in search of love with Elena Wright and new member Sandie Wildash playing Minnie Faye and Irene Molloy.

A supporting company of singers and dancers performed the show-stopping routines and created a number of cameo roles, while Neil Perrin conducted the 10-piece band.

Betty Blackmore led the costume-making team to create the lavish Sunday Clothes. The whole production was led by Lee Baxendale and Pamela Beecham.
