Molly Pope to Celebrate Jerry Herman in New Show at The Duplex

In her last New York City solo concert of 2016, neo-retro cabarettist Molly Pope celebrates her birthday with a brand new show, comprised entirely of the music of Jerry Herman on Wednesday, November 2 at 9:30 PM at The Duplex.

Crediting him as the best thing that ever happened to her, she has assembled an evening of her favorite songs from Mame to Mack & Mabel to Hello, Dolly! and more. Expect witty banter, sing-a-longs, compulsory waltzing and Drew Wutke on the piano. A love letter to the musical theater genius who gave her teenage life a direction, join The Annual Molly Pope Birthday Show in an exuberant evening of good old fashioned show business.
