What I liked

If you have never heard of Allan Sherman, this would be a great introduction. Boomers will enjoy the cultural references woven into the script.

What I didn't like

I liked the entire show, but I am being forced to put something in the online form. Get there in time to take the quiz in the program before the show. Highly recommended.

My overall impression

Before there was Weird Al, there was Allan Sherman, writing and recording witty song parodies in the 1960’s. “Hello Again: The Songs of Allan Sherman” at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre is a beautifully realized valentine to his talent. Linden Waddel’s performance is outstanding. She embraces the wackiness with enthusiasm, energy and her amazing voice. She incorporates music from the Great American Songbook to tell Allen’s story with solid support from Marjorie Poe on the keyboards and clever choreography from Janet Miller. Definitely the most enjoyable 55 minutes of my day.
