The concerts of Broadway playhouse are both adult friendly and kid friendly with fun-facts, sing- alongs, medleys, mini-musicals and games. Jerry Herman’s infectious melodies and sweet/ funny lyrics are the best in Broadway. Jerry Herman became popular with his 1960’s mega hits, Dolly, Mame, and Hello.  They are most often performed by hit heroines of all time. He wrote many memorable shows including the sensational Tony Award winner, La Cage Aux Folles. Jerry Herman is the only Lyricist-Composer to have run 1500 consecutive Broadway performances. Jerry’s string of honors and awards includes multiple Grammys, Tonys, Johnny Mercer Award, Drama Desk Awads and the Richard Rodgers Award. Jerry Hermans 1964 lyrics and music has inspired the ‘Wall-E’ romance. The Tony winning composer has licensed his songs to Pixar. Many of his show tunes have been made as pop standards today.
