In 1986 I was 12 years old and I came to visit my Brother in London. He was studying to be an actor. We would go and see West End Musicals. One October evening we ventured to the London Palladium to see La Cage Aux Folles, I was blown away. The Story was beautiful, the music sensational. That's when I fell in love with the works of Jerry Herman, no one writes a big Broadway show tune like Jerry Herman. Many years later having seen many more of his musicals I thought it was about time to pay tribute to this composer, and hence Tim and Jerry was born. This will be the second showing of this gorgeous show. Tim McArthur has performed his solo shows at 54 Below, The Tada Theatre (NYC), Pride Arts Centre (Chicago), New Jersey Rep (Long Branch NYC). The London Hippodrome, The Purcell Room, The Arts Theatre and many seasons at Jermyn Street Theatre
