In Yonkers, New York, in the late 1890s, the formidable and beloved widowed matchmaker Dolly Levi travels to meddle in the affairs of the wealthy, miserly “half-a-millionaire” Horace Vandergelder. While hired to find him a wife, Dolly secretly intends to marry Horace herself. Her scheming sets in motion a chaotic day for everyone: she sends Horace’s niece, Ermengarde, and her suitor, Ambrose, to New York City; persuades Horace’s chief clerk, Cornelius Hackl, and his assistant, Barnaby, to also go to the city for an adventure; and arranges for Horace to meet the lovely widow Irene Molloy, who is secretly the object of Cornelius’s affection. The ensuing adventure in New York involves mistaken identities, frantic hideaways, a fancy dinner at the Harmonia Gardens restaurant, and a spectacular parade, all leading to multiple romantic couplings and Dolly’s triumphant return to society, ultimately teaching the grumpy Horace a lesson in generosity and the joy of living.
