JERRY'S GIRLS Plays The Ivoryton Playhouse 10/28-11/14

Jerry's Girls is a celebratory 2-hour musical extravaganza with glamour, optimism, love, melody, and women. More than most songwriters, Jerry Herman has put the 'larger-than-life' women of his shows center stage. There's Dolly Gallagher Levi of Hello, Dolly!, Auntie Mame Dennis of Mame, Countess Aurelia of Dear World, and Mabel Normand of Mack and Mabel. And featuring ZaZa, of La Cage Aux Folles.

So, it is fitting that in Jerry's Girls there are women center stage, once again. Women affectionately celebrating Jerry's special gift for writing songs that capture the true spirit of the American musical theater. The show's 'name-dropping' title song, Jerry's Girls (to the tune of 'It's Today' from Mame), that opens Act One, honors 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 brilliant and lively show with enjoyable music and humor!
