Music and lyrics by Jerry Herman.

Saul Schechtman, conductor.

So successful was Hello, Dolly! on Broadway that producer David Merrick took the bold step in 1967 of recasting the entire production with an African-American cast, led by Pearl Bailey and Cab Calloway. The powerful response inspired a second cast recording of the original production, made on November 17, 1967 in Webster Hall in New York City. Produced by George R. Marek and Andy Wiswell, the recording captures Bailey and Calloway’s infectious performances, and the cast includes Emily Yancy, Jack Crowder, Winston DeWitt Hemsley and Chris Calloway, with Saul Schechtman conducting.

Recorded November 17, 1967, in Webster Hall, New York, NY.
Producers: George R. Marek and Andy Wiswell.
