TV EXCLUSIVE: Jacob Sterling 'Smells' for BWW

WHAT'S THAT SMELL: THE MUSIC OF JACOB STERLING is a hilarious musical parody that charts the career of eternally up-and-coming (and fictitious) musical theater composer Jacob Sterling (Pittu). A rare, up close and personal visit with an artist of questionable gifts who performs from his songbook and shares his human struggle to keep musical theater alive and well into the 21st century.

Jacob Sterling 'himself' took a moment away from the piano to give BWW TV a very special message deep from his musical heart and soul. Stay tuned for more "smell filled" musical nuggets from the world of WHAT'S THAT SMELL right here on BroadwayWorld.com
