Showtune: Celebrating the Words & Music of Jerry Herman

Original Off-Broadway Version (2003) / York Theatre
A lyrical celebration of the music and indomitable spirit of the legendary Jerry Herman.

Prepare yourself for a slice of musical theatre heaven. All Jerry Herman, all the time. Showtune delivers everything that its title promises... and then some!

No lyric is left unsung in this top-notch retrospective of Herman's phenomenal career in songwriting. Familiar tunes from such illustrious titles as Hello Dolly!, Mame, and La Cage Aux Folles will be stuck in your head long after this charming show ends. A performer-driven piece that has its heart in Herman's words, it is the perfect celebration for the recipient of the 2009 Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre.

Requiring only a small cast and a grand piano makes this revue perfect for a theatre of any size but especially ideal for smaller spaces with limited technical options and/or tight budgets. One-act and two-act versions of Showtune are both available to license.
