About Jerry Herman
Jerry Herman (1931–2019) was one of Broadway's most beloved composers and lyricists, creator of three of the longest-running shows in Broadway history: Hello, Dolly! (1964), Mame (1966), and La Cage Aux Folles (1983). His music is defined by irresistible melody, theatrical flair, and enduring optimism.
Among his most celebrated female anthems: Hello, Dolly!, Before the Parade Passes By, It Only Takes a Moment, We Need a Little Christmas, If He Walked Into My Life, and I Am What I Am.
