, whose indelible Broadway hits included “Hello, Dolly!,” “Mame” and “La Cage aux Folles,” died Thursday in Miami. He was 88.
He first found success on Broadway in 1961 with “Milk and Honey,” a collaboration with playwright Don Appell. The upbeat tuner starred Molly Picon in the story of American widows hoping to find husbands while touring Israel set against the new nation’s struggle to gain recognition. Herman’s first book musical on Broadway ran for almost a year and a half and drew Tony nominations for best musical and composer.
But his subsequent musicals “Dear World” , “Mack and Mabel” and “The Grand Tour” all failed to ignite, though their scores remain popular with musical comedy fans. Gerald Herman was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey. He enrolled in the Parsons School of Design after his high school graduation. But after meeting Loesser and writing a popular song that sold for the grand sum of $200, Herman transferred to the University of Miami, where he majored in drama and won the Snarks Playwriting Award.
