Elaine Hendrix Stars in OFC Production
Elaine Hendrix will star as Dolly Gallagher Levi in Hello, Dolly! at OFC Creations Theatre Center, January 29 through February 15, 2026, as part of its “Broadway in Brighton Series.”
Hendrix, (Disney’s The Parent Trap, SNL’s Superstar, and the cult classic Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion) was recently a finalist on this season’s Dancing with the Stars. Hello, Dolly! also stars Myk Watford as Horace Vandergelder (From Apple TV’s For All Mankind and MGM’s Respect) and Tyler Hardwick as Cornelius Hackl (Broadway’s Motown The Musical and Once On This Island).
In 1880s Yonkers, a rich and cantankerous widower by the name of Horace Vandergelder is on the lookout for a wife. To help him on his quest, he engages the services of professional matchmaker Dolly Gallagher Levi, but little does he know that Dolly has his perfect match in mind from their very first meeting – herself! Now all she has to do is make Horace realize it as well.
Featuring the timeless songs “Put On Your Sunday Clothes,” “Before the Parade Passes By,” “It Only Takes a Moment,” and the title song, Hello, Dolly! is an extravagant old-school treat, following the efforts of the titular matchmaker to land a wealthy and cantankerous widow.
“I am thrilled to be joining OFC Creations Theatre and to bring the dynamic Dolly Levi to life in this production,” shares Elaine Hendrix. “Returning to live theatre is always such a joy, and I can’t wait to join this wonderful cast and artistic team.”
“It is an honor to have the iconic Elaine Hendrix star as the force of nature that is Dolly Levi,” says Eric Vaughn Johnson, Artistic Director of OFC and co-director of the show. “This is a classic musical that audiences will enjoy with the fresh take by this incredible cast.”
This golden-age hit musical is directed by Eric Vaughn Johnson and Tripp Hanson and features a cast of professional performers from across the country.
