"The classic musical Hello, Dolly! had a succession of famous women who played the show's title role in the original Broadway production...Yavapai College Performing Arts Center in Prescott has found another formidable famous woman to portray the meddling matchmaker in Grammy-winning singer Toni Tennille. Tennille may be best known for the chart-topping 1970s pop hits she recorded with her husband Daryl Dragon as Captain & Tennille, but she also fronted the national tour of Victor/Victoria in 1998 and 1999, and after retiring to Prescott a little over 10 years ago has been involved in various local arts organizations. While her well-known warm singing voice on her pop hits may have lost some of its shine and sparkle, it is still fairly strong and clear, and she delivers a rousing and winning performance as Dolly, with a talented group of supporting actors, a large ensemble, and rich creative aspects that make this a lush, gorgeous and joyous production." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
