New number

Well we've been rehearsing a new number to open the next Merman at the Jermyn. Last time, due to problems sourcing sheet music we opened with Jerry Herman's fabulous 'It's Today' from Mame. Brilliant as it is, it's not a number Merman ever performed, so after a lot of searching we have finally found the sheet for the 1950 number 'Gee But It's Good to be here' from Happy Hunting [Dubey and Karr]. The opening to the show has changed quite a bit and we've restaged a few numbers to make them more engaging.

We'll soon be announcing new dates for the summer and autumn, probably not at the JST but elsewhere as the festivals season kicks in.
