WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Showtune is a new musical revue celebrating the life-affirming words and music of Jerry Herman. The show weaves together some of Herman's lesser-known riches from Mack and Mabel, Dear World, The Grand Tour, Milk and Honey, and A Day in Hollywood, with fresh and surprising turns from the Tony-Award winning musicals, Hello Dolly!, Mame, and La Cage aux Folles.
