Over het evenement

Lyricist Johnny Mercer (1909‐1976) worked with some of America’s greatest composers in Hollywood and on Broadway – including Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington and Henry Mancini.

He wrote songs such as “Hooray for Hollywood” and “Moon River” as well as the Broadway shows St. Louis Woman and Li’l Abner. The show includes a mini‐production of Li’l Abner, the musical based on the comic strip by Al Capp.
