Jerry Herman Says "Hello, Drowsy!"
On Wednesday, June 13, the composer of such unforgettable Broadway songs as "Bosom Buddies," "I Am What I Am," "Time Heals Everything" and "Before the Parade Passes By" stopped by the Marquis Theatre for the Wednesday night performance of that homage to musical theater lovers everywhere, The Drowsy Chaperone. Yup, Jerry Herman—the musical master of Mame, La Cage, Mack & Mabel and Hello, Dolly!—was in the house. And not only did the 75-year old Tony winner (who is the subject of a substantial new PBS-bound documentary entitled Words and Music by Jerry Herman by Amber Edwards) enjoy his evening with The Drowsy Chaperone, but afterwards he spent quite a while mingling backstage with the cast—many of whom have significant history with appearing in Herman's shows on Broadway. So click on and say, "Hello, Jerry!"
