- This is a very rare 2020 Spotlight on Broadway's Jerry Herman. Barbara Walters sits down with Herman to talk about his career having written such shows as Mame, Mack and Mabel, La Cage Aux Folles, Hello Dolly and more.
Thank you, Jerry. You were what Broadway was all about!
Ohhhhh Mr Herman!!!! I know who you are and I adore everything you ever composed and wrote the lyrics to. You’re our national treasure. Everyone should read your memoir it’s so happy. I’m glad to know from this interview that you wanted privacy instead of publicity. His lyrics are always brilliant with a grand message filled with optimism. Jerry Herman is the best elixir. Kudos, bravo and Mazel tov. Evidently the real credit goes to his mother. A charming sidebar. Those shows that the critics didn’t like….. shame on them. Milk and Honey, The Grand Tour, Dear World and smack and Mabel have the best songs and lyrics. Just a devotee’s opinion. The man who wrote “I AM WHAT I AM “ can do no wrong! Thank you Mr Herman for always brightening the day!
Rest in Peace, our darling Jerry. God knows we love you and thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this!
RIP Mr Showtune!
He and Sondheim always seemed to have an intense rivalry; Jerry the happy-go-lucky, showstopper old-school Broadway writer and Steve the complex, ultra-sophisticated writer of GENIUS musicals. Glad that they both were and are on this planet!
Jerry Herman will always be *my* ‘Sondheim.’
In another interview he said he didn't see Sondheim as a rival. More like another great composer, i think he used the word genius, but am not sure.
He is truly the best composer I know. Everything he writes has a powerful message of tolerance and joy.
I didn’t know about Jerry until I saw a show called Jerry’s girls. So glad I did. Love his work!
Jerry Herman for me is THE BEST OF ALL
Barbra's version of "Before the parade passes by" is spine tiingling. Her last note sends chills up the spine. Loved Jerry Herman's work. RIP Jerry.
I sat next to him at dinner after an award event,,,He was delightful much like this interview ,,,I remembered that he said that he thought that Hello Dolly had bought him a beach house at Malibu!
thank you for this interesting interview!!
OVATION FOR HIM ❣️
What a charming man
Rosalind Russell did the first movie version not Lucy “
Russell filmed the play "Auntie Mame" not the musical "Mame".
Yes, and Rosalind was brilliant. Lucy was not Mame. Terrible casting mistake.
@@fobesq Who cares? I enjoyed Lucy! She was MAME and you can't prove otherwise because there is NO OTHER film version of the musical except that one! HA!!
1931-2019
It shows Jerry Herman 2020 interview on the tag and I immediately thought, but wait, he's dead?
