Aria Entertainment and Guy James  are presenting Jerry’s Girls at the St James' Theatre Studio from 3rd-15th March. The musical revue is based on the songs of composer and lyricist Jerry Herman and will be Directed by Kate Golledge.

The revue was created by Herman and Larry Alford in 1981 at Onstage, a nightclub located in the Theater District in midtown-Manhattan. After La Cage aux Folles opened  two years later, producer Zev Bufman approached the pair and suggested they mount a full-scale, all-star version. In  1984 the expanded show premiered in Palm Beach, Florida, with Carol Channing, Andrea McArdle, and Leslie Uggams, with  an all-female chorus, recreating scenes and songs from Herman’s hits, including Hello, Dolly!, La Cage Aux Folles, Mame, and Mack and Mabel.

Chita Rivera was nominated for her role in this musical at the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical 1980s at the 1986 40th Tony Awards.

Casting still to be announced.
