Jerry’s Girls

Jerry’s Girls is a celebratory two-hour musical entertainment of glamour, optimism, love, melody, and women. More than most songwriters, Jerry Herman has put the ‘larger-than-life’ women of his shows centre stage. There’s Dolly Gallagher Levi of Hello, Dolly!, Auntie Mame Dennis of Mame, Countess Aurelia of Dear World, Mabel Normand of Mack and Mabel. And female impersonator ZaZa of La Cage Aux Folles. So it is fitting that in Jerry’s Girls there are women centre stage once again. Women affectionately celebrating Jerry’s special gift for writing songs that capture the true spirit of the American musical theatre. The show’s ‘name-dropping’ title song, Jerry’s Girls (to the tune of It’s Today from Mame), that opens Act One, honours the 40-plus female stars who have appeared in Herman musicals over the years, and features a dazzling array of songs from these landmark shows.  Look forward to a brilliantly lively show with terrific musicality and wit.
