About the Authors

Jerry Herman (lyrics and music, Hello, Dolly!) is an American composer and lyricist, known for his work in Broadway musical theater. He composed the scores for the hit Broadway musicals Hello, Dolly!, Mame, and La Cage aux Folles. He has been nominated for the Tony Award five times, and won twice, for Hello, Dolly! and La Cage aux Folles. In 2009, Herman received the Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre. He is a recipient of the 2010 Kennedy Center Honors.[1]

Michael Stewart (book, Hello, Dolly!) was an American playwright and librettist for the stage. He met Charles Strouse and Lee Adams in 1954, and several years after collaborated with them and Gower Champion on the 1960 Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie.[1] He worked again with Champion and Jerry Herman, with their musical Hello, Dolly! opening on Broadway in 1964.[1] Jule Styne said of him: "He was an extremely talented and knowledgeable man of the theater. He was one of the great musical-theater writers, and his string of hits showed that."

Thornton Niven Wilder (Hello, Dolly! is based on his 1938 farce The Merchant of Yonkers, revised and retitled The Matchmaker in 1955) was an American playwright and dramatist. He received three Pulitzer Prizes, one for his novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey and two for his plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, and a National Book Award for his novel The Eighth Day.
