It Takes A Woman,
Put On Your Sunday Clothes,
Before the Parade Passes By,
Elegance,
It Only Takes a Moment
and of course the title song
Hello Dolly

are just a few of the musical numbers that are sure to delight
audiences at the latest colourful and spectacular
Broxbourne Theatre Company show.

Based on Thornton Wilder's farce The Matchmaker,
the original Broadway show received ten Tony awards
including Best Musical. It had two Broadway revivals
with a total of 3754 performances. The title song
even dislodged the Beatles from their long running
number one position in the 1964 American charts.

Hello Dolly in 1986 also earned Broxbourne Theatre Company’s
biggest ever audience for a Musical.
So don’t delay, put on your sunday clothes and
book before the parade passes by ... it only takes a moment!

Tickets for Hello Dolly are now on sale here.

About the Theatre

Broxbourne Civic Theatre has a comfortable auditorium seating nearly 500. You'll find it at Broxbourne Civic Hall, near the junction of Hoddesdon High Street and Cock Lane.

It's right on the doorstep from Cheshunt, Waltham Cross, Goffs Oak, Cuffley and Wormley, close to Enfield, North London, Harlow and Hertford and within reasonable travelling distance of other Hertfordshire towns such as Stevenage, Ware, Welwyn Garden City, St Albans and Bishops Stortford.

Terrace seats are fully tiered and there is a large licensed bar which opens one hour before evening performances. See Seating Plan for layout.

To avoid the interval rush, you are recommended to order interval drinks from the bar before the show starts.

Travel Information

Travelling North from Broxbourne traffic lights, look for the Police Station on the left and the theatre's approach road (very short length of dual carriageway) which is next after the police station and arts centre/museum.

Travelling South from Hoddesdon Town Centre, turn right at the Cock Lane roundabout and left before the car park.

See this town centre plan , or if travelling from further afield, see this wider map  view.

Broxbourne Civic Hall has a car park but it has limited capacity and therefore early arrival is suggested.

By public transport : Arriva bus services 310 and 311 pass the entrance. Alight at Hoddesdon Police Station. Arriva 310 and 311 timetables are here or you can use this journey planner (filling in destination as EN11 8BE) to find complete routes by bus or train from any address in the area.
