The world lost one of its greatest and best-loved comedic song writers on July 26, 2025, at age 97. How timely it is that we revisit this enigmatic man in a celebration of his sardonic genius and in honor of his profound contribution to worlds of musical satire, comedy, politics, and thoughtful citizenry. Our audiences will be among the first to experience this incredible outpouring of wit and musicality. This concert tour celebrates the wit and brilliance of legendary satirist Tom Lehrer. Veteran performer Bobby Underwood, known for his engaging stage presence, brings Lehrer’s sharp, clever lyrics to life, while Zalmen Mlotek, a renowned conductor and pianist, provides expert musical accompaniment. The program includes Lehrer favorites like “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,” “The Elements,” and “We Will All Go Together,” offering a lively and nostalgic journey through his most iconic songs. Audiences old and new will experience Lehrer’s unique blend of satire, intellect, and musical talent.
Thank You, Tom Lehrer is both a tribute and a revival, reminding us of Lehrer’s enduring impact on comedy and song. It promises an evening of laughter, clever commentary, and joyful music that celebrates a singular voice in American satire.
Tom Lehrer, in a final act of generosity to the world, released all his songs into the public domain so that everybody can sing and perform and laugh and cry to their heart’s delight without paying a royalty. Thank you, Tom Lehrer!
