hello dolly is awesome.
a bisexual widow ragebaits an old man and starts trouble for 2 hours, while setting up two autistic idiots with two beautiful women, and a short diva with the world’s tallest man.
one of the autistic men hides in a closet. he and his friend are referred to, and refer to themselves, as “gay” multiple times.
costume designer? lesbian. two of the actors? bisexual. composer? gay. original playwright? gay. an actor from the original film? gay.
in the original film, the autistic men dress in drag and one of them regularly eats leaves from random bushes.
in the original play, one of the autistic men — while in drag — is told that he “make[s] a lovely woman” and “ought to stay that way” because he “would live a very happy life.”
