New York?s Most Famous Matchmaker
Professional match making services have become very popular in recent years, especially in big cities like New York.
But probably the most famous New York matchmaker of all time is Mrs. Dolly Gallagher Levi, a fictional character who was most memorably portrayed by Carol Channing in the 1964 Broadway musical comedy "Hello, Dolly!"
"Hello, Dolly!" is set in the New York of the 1880s.
Dolly is a fiftish widow whose husband has recently died, leaving her penniless.
She supports herself, in part, by being a matchmaker.
The play revolves around her efforts to find a match for millionaire merchant Horace Vandergelder, the richest man in Yonkers ? except that her real intent is to marry him herself.
The plot involves a maze of farcical twists and turns and subplots, ending with Vandergelder's proposal to Dolly.

Off Broadway Shows
Off Broadway shows refer to offbeat and experimental theatrical shows (musicals, stage shows and plays) in theaters, which are not in Broadway theatrical territory.

Many off-Broadway shows have been very successful and have come to be readapted and run as Broadway shows. Musicals like Avenue Q, Rent, Hair and Little Shop of Horrors and plays like Doubt and I Am My Own Wife are some of...
