If they're going to keep running these in the holiday season, Oliver! has an advantage of somehow being thought of as a "Christmas" show (lots of theatres seem to do it around the holidays, etc - I guess it must be the Dickensian thing. And of course probably because it has kids in it, so it lends itself to family fare that works for the holidays.) Someone above doubted that Hello, Dolly! would have the universal recognition to be enough of a draw - I would tend to think it might. I would love to see them try something other than another R&H show right away. (I would enjoy seeing a possible King And I for instance, but maybe a few years down the line.)
