Set to portray Irene Molloy in the show, which will anchor at London's Adelphi Theatre this August, Russell is already a celebrated star of the stage.
Back in 2008, she nabbed a highly-coveted Olivier Award for her performance in Sunday in the Park with George at the Menier Chocolate Factory.

Productions of Hello, Dolly! have been a theatrical mainstay since 1964, with Jerry Herman's music and lyrics considered timeless and iconic by many.
