You may not be aware of Jerry’s Girls but there’s a fair chance you’ll be familiar with the back catalogue of composer and lyricist Jerry Herman.
He’s written the songs for a range of well-known musicals – most famously Hello, Dolly! and La Cage aux Folles – and Jerry’s Girls is a musical revue based on the biggest hits from his most famous shows.
The show has its origins in New York nightclubs in the early 1980s, but was officially commissioned as a full-scale musical revue following the success of La Cage aux Folles on Broadway.
It premiered in 1984, and now 40 years later we have a revival in London, at the Menier Chocolate Factory near London Bridge.
