ABOUT ABOUT

Say Hooray for Hollywood with Paul Hope Cabaret when you see our Too Marvelous For Words - The Songs of Johnny Mercer. Mercer is one of the greatest of American lyricists with a distinctively native sound that came from his Georgia upbringing. While his Broadway output was mostly limited to Li'l Abner, his Hollywood resume included favorites like On the Atchison Topeka and The Santa Fe, Charade, Jeepers Creepers, Skylark, In the Cool Cool Cool of the Evenin, Something Gotta Give, Laura, Moon River and many more. His pop hits included Autumn Leaves, I Remember You, I'm An Ole Cowhand, Goody Goody, and When the World Was Young. Performing the songs of this Academy Award winner will be Paul Hope Cabaret regulars Grace Givens, Tamara Siler, Whitney Zangarine, Chelsea Lerner, Richard Paul Fink, and newcomer Brock Hatton. Paul Hope will return as your Host and we are thrilled to feature a guest appearance or two by a beloved Houston Theatre mainstay Theresa Cooney. Musical direction is by Jim Benton. The hits just keep coming with Johnny Mercer, so put on some comfortable shoes and join us for a great evening of immortal American song classics!
