News Hello Jerry!: Herman's Work Featured at Kennedy Center in May Last summer the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts saluted the works of composer Stephen Sondheim with top-notch productions of six of his classic musicals; this May, the famed Center will celebrate the music of Jerry Herman with a one-night-only presentation entitled Hello Jerry!

The award-winning composer himself will take part in the May 1 event, which will also feature the talents of Karen Morrow, a longtime interpreter of Herman's songs; Forever Plaid's Jason Graae; and the voice of Belle in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," Paige O'Hara. Don Pippin will serve as the evening's musical director. One of the theatre's most celebrated composers, Jerry Herman has written the scores for such Broadway musicals as Milk and Honey; Hello, Dolly!; Mame; Dear World; Mack & Mabel; The Grand Tour and La Cage aux Folles. He also contributed songs to A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine, and revues of his work include Jerry's Girls and An Evening with Jerry Herman. The songwriter won Tony Awards for his scores for Hello, Dolly! and La Cage aux Folles. A new revue of Herman's work, Showtune, which recently played the Helen Hayes Theatre Company in Nyack, New York, will begin performances at Off Broadway's Theatre at St. Peter's Feb. 18.
