| | Big on Broadway / Famed composer Jerry Herman spreads show-tune gospel |
| | Herman finds the lyrics in contemporary pop songs "appalling" and doesn't think much more highly of contemporary art musicals. | | | But Herman, who grew up believing that songwriting was too much fun to be a career (he studied to be an architect or designer), has always been an accidental hitmaker. | | | His "Jerry's Girls" anthology was a hit in the 1980s, and he followed that with "Tune the Grand Up" in the '90s. |

| | So it is not surprising that, although seemingly retired from the musical comedy stage, he remains the best proponent of the "diva musical," described by theater historian John Clum as a musical comedy "about a woman's escape from the humdrum" and pedestrian life to which social convention would consign her. | | | First, there is what Herman himself calls the "statement song" in which the heroine delivers her philosophy of life. | | | His family ran a summer camp where Herman worked until he was 21, in the process discovering a talent for producing musical entertainments. |

| | In Brief: "An Evening With Jerry Herman" |
| | Herman's music and words are not just lovely; they're also lovable. | | | But never mind: The songs, and Jerry Herman's engaging pianism and commentary, are quite enough to provide a mirthful, and sometimes eye-moistening, happy time. | | | Back in 1974, I was the only critic who recognized it as such: a work infused with existential insight and enrapturing melody and lyrics. |
