Jerry's Girls - a tribute to the fabulous ladies of the Herman musicals, that has played on Broadway and every major American city - has also had three monumentally successful productions in Australia. This sparkling jewel of a revue is infused with the qualities of Jerry Herman's music and lyrics, his insightful humanity, unshakable belief in love, and unquenchable optimism.

On February 28, 1984, the expanded Jerry's Girls premiered at the Royal Poinciana Playhouse in Palm Beach, Florida, with Carol Channing, Andrea McArdle, and Leslie Uggams, backed by an all-female chorus, recreating scenes and songs from Herman's hits, including Hello, Dolly!, Mame, and Mack and Mabel. Jerry's Girls, the show's opening number set to the music of "It's Today" from Mame, enumerated the many actresses who had appeared in Herman's shows over the years

Jerry Herman, who had been without success since Mame in 1966, was the featured performer, supported by four non-star girls. Two years later Herman was suddenly hot again, with the success of La Cage Aux Folles. The second Jerry's Girls opened in February 1984 and closed after a brief tour. A third production - with Ms. Uggams joined by the similarly under-utilized Dorothy Loudon and Chita Rivera - was mounted on Broadway in December 1985, where it was just as unsuccessful as the others and closed within four months.
