Jerry Herman’s songs have entered the pantheon of Broadway, with shows like “Hello Dolly”, “Mame” and “La Cage Aux Folles” promising big, splashy songs that catch the ear and delight the heart. This revue collects all the hits along with some less-well-known but just-as-memorable songs in two hours of fun, style and enjoyment.
