Peggy Herman’s show “Herman on Herman” is so touching that the audience couldn’t resist trying to touch this authentically sincere, honest and entertaining cabaret performer. Peggy’s love for the music and her thoroughness of preparation makes this Jerry Herman tribute show a tour de force of some of Broadways greatest songs. Peggy had some excellent “advisors” in the construction of this hour. Tommy Tune’s artistic brilliance was quite evident, as were some of the best “small orchestrations” and piano playing I’ve heard in a cabaret four piece band, led by musical director Alex Rybeck. No one had a dry eye when special guest Jerry Lanning sang “You’re My Best Girl” and Tony Sheldon performing “A Penny In My Pocket” was one of the best versions I’ve heard.
