This special chronicles the life and career of one of the American musical theater's iconic figures: the composer and lyricist of the smash hit shows Hello, Dolly!, Mame, and La Cage aux Folles. Jerry Herman and an all-star cast (including Angela Lansbury, Carol Channing, and Michael Feinstein, among others) chart his rise from witty, topical off-Broadway revues in the 1950s to his first Broadway triumphs in the 1960s - Milk and Honey, followed by the record-breaking Dolly and then Mame - through the 1970s (Dear World, Mack & Mabel, The Grand Tour) to his 1983 hit, La Cage aux Folles, which made social and political history. The program features never-before-seen stills and archival footage from the original shows - and a great Jerry Herman score.
