Jerry's Girls

See it if you love Herman's oeuvre. Strong singing. Umoh is superb. No unifying theme to song choice or order. Scattered revue, but still enjoyable.

Don't see it if you like dialogue; JG is just songs, songs, songs. How about JH's bio? Needs more projections, more related to songs. Hard-working pianist!

See it if You want a fun trip down memory lane w/Jerry Herman's songs/shows. 3 sing ok but struggle when singing together. Easily overlooked. Sweet.

Don't see it if You want any kind of story. This is a revue and barely that. More like an homage to a brilliant man and his music. Enjoyable though flawed.

See it if you're a Jerry Herman fan, miss the ballads & show-stoppers of traditional musicals, enjoy 3 fab singers put their all into song and lyrics

Don't see it if you don't like non-book revues staged as a reading with scripts, not a Jerry Herman fan, want more than 3 singers and a piano in a musical,

Also This is one of York Theatre's Musicals in Mufti stagings, so they are done simply without costumes, sets and very little (30 hours of rehearsal). The three female singers are terrific, even if they have to rely on scripts, but there is understandably minimal staging, though it is great to hear those Herman tunes, although it would be nice to hear them played by a larger orchestra.... Read more Read less

See it if you are a person who will be delighted to hear Jerry Herman songs in any incarnation.

Don't see it if you like to see productions that have reason to exist. There's nothing BAD about this but there's nothing GOOD either. It just sort of is.

Don't see it if You loathe musicals

See it if you enjoy old-school musicals. Whether you saw the original or not, you will enjoy this MUFTI production, sans scenery and costume changes.

Don't see it if you expect to see a big-time epic revival. MUFTI rocks, and this staged-concert performance of an old classic is endearing & heart-warming.

Also You MUST experience Stephanie Umoh's vibrato.

Cast is excellent, but DAMN. Seriously, Miss Umoh. Holy mother of all that is sacred in singing. Amazing. This woman's vibrato and deeply warm tone is unmatched. A blessing. Priceless.

Eric Svejcar on the piano is KILLER. If it wasn't for the 3 "Girls", you'd be just fine watching him slay the keys all day, all night. Masterful.

Having seen the original 30yrs ago, it was hard not to compare each individual singer (and identify some of the switched lead vocals/songs). SO WHAT. Those original "Girls" were (are) amazing in their own right. And today, even in concert, Jerry's brilliance is STILL so freaking good. It's a must-experience live show.

Also unity. The performances are good, but not convincing.
