He's been dubbed "a theatrical institution" - and with good reason, because composer-lyricist Jerry Herman wrote the scores for three of the biggest successes in Broadway history: Hello, Dolly!, Mame and La Cage Aux Folles. This concert charts the career of a man who says he's had "a lifelong romance with the show tune" - songs that are unashamedly optimistic and irresistibly hummable, first performed by such stars as Angela Lansbury, Carol Channing and Barbra Streisand. More than 100 years of America's cultural history is tied to our musicals, and The Musical Theater Project documents and celebrates that history in a seamless blend of entertainment and education.
