The Manatee Players - Jerry's Girls

The Manatee Players - Jerry's Girls

JERRY’S GIRLS affectionately celebrates Jerry Herman's special gift for writing songs that capture the true spirit of the American musical theatre.

            The two-hour show, conceived by Larry Alford, Wayne Cilento and Jerry Herman is truly a celebration of love, glamour, optimism, melody and women.

Songwriter Jerry Herman is famous for his larger than life female leads such as  Dolly Gallagher Levi of HELLO, DOLLY!, Auntie Mame Dennis of MAME, Countess Aurelia of DEAR WORLD, Mabel Normand of MACK AND MABEL and female impersonator ZaZa of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. Opening Act One is the show's eponymous song,  (to the tune of ‘It's Today’ from Mame), honoring the 40-plus female stars appearing in Herman musicals over the years, and features a dazzling array of songs from these landmark shows. Look forward to a brilliantly lively show with terrific musicality and wit.

Weeknight shows at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday shows 8 p.m.,  Sunday shows 2 p.m. and no Monday shows. See ticket website for further showtime details.
