Join Broadway's Fred Barton, his 14-piece orchestra, and a fleet of first-rate Broadway performers in a tribute to the celebrated lyricist, Johnny Mercer whose lyrics provided commentary on American life through much of the 20th century. His songbook includes such indelible standards as “Any Place I Hang My Hat is Home,” “Hooray for Hollywood,” and the Oscar award winning best song, “Moon River.” His scores for the Broadway stage include LI’L ABNER, ST. LOUIS WOMAN, TOP BANANA and the MGM musical picture "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.”
