New London Peoples’ Forum presents
“A Fun & Tuneful Night at the Theater”

The smash hit Musical

Jerry's Girls
Ivoryton Playhouse

Music and lyrics by Tony Award-Winner Jerry Herman
Saturday, November 7, 8:00 p. m.
Group Ticket Prices: Adults, $33.00/pp
(Compares to $140 on Broadway!)

Jerry's Girls is a celebratory two-hour musical entertainment of glamour, optimism, love, melody, and memorable women characters of the musical theater.

More than most songwriters, Jerry Herman has put the 'larger-than-life' women of his shows center stage. There's Dolly Gallagher Levi of Hello, Dolly! Auntie Mame Dennis of Mame, Countess Aurelia of Dear World, Mabel Normand of Mack and Mabel. And female impersonator ZaZa of La Cage Aux Folles. So it is fitting that in Jerry's Girls there are women center stage once again. Women affectionately celebrating Jerry's special gift for writing songs that capture the true spirit of the American musical theater.

The show's 'name-dropping' title song, “Jerry's Girls” (to the tune of “It's Today” from Mame), that opens Act One, honors the 40-plus female stars who have appeared in Herman musicals over the years, and features a dazzling array of songs from these landmark shows. Look forward to a brilliantly lively show with terrific musicality and wit.

THRILL ME: THE LEOPOLD & LOEB STORY is a two-character musical drama that recounts the chilling true story of the legendary duo who committed one of the most infamous and heinous crimes of the twentieth century. Focusing on their obsessive relationship and utilizing Leopold's 1958 parole hearing as a framework, THRILL ME reveals the series of events in 1924 Chicago that led about-to-be law students Leopold and Loeb to be forever remembered as "the thrill killers." Nathan Leopold was passionate about Richard Loeb, who was passionate about crime and excitement. They created a secret agreement to satisfy each other's needs. Soon Richard convinced Nathan that they embodied Nietzsche's idea of the "Superman" and were above society. Then he drew him into his plan to lure a young boy to his death just to prove they could get away with it. But soon their perfect crime unraveled due to a careless mistake. Or was it so careless?
