Our first New York show is the 39th Los Angeles Kritzerland show -- our first ever encore show -- a sellout both evenings: the songs of the Sherman Brothers -- Richard M. and Robert B. -- the men repsonsible for making some of the most beloved, well known and iconic songs ever written, from pop to film to stage. The award-winning songwriting brothers' songs have been delighting entire generations since the 1950s, and whether you were around then and discovering their songs when they were new, or if you were born in any subsequent decade, the Sherman Brothers songs were most assuredly part of your life.

From their first pop hit, "Tall Paul" to their songs for The Parent Trap, they were Walt Disney's favorite songwriters and there was no question he would entrust the songs for his magnum opus to them - Mary Poppins. From there they went on to do Winnie the Pooh, The Jungle Book, The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band, The Happiest Millionaire, That Darn Cat, and many others. Away from Disney, the brothers wrote the brilliant song- scores to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Tom Sawyer, Charlotte's Web, The Slipper and the Rose, and then conquered Broadway with Over Here. Additionally, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and now The Jungle Book, have all been adapted for the stage, with Mary and Chitty both having Broadway runs and The Jungle Book having its first production this year in Chicago and Boston. Their Disneyland anthem, "It's a Small World" has been heard by millions upon millions of people the world over in every language conceivable.

As with all Kritzerland shows, you'll hear a mix of the well known and the not so well known, all sung by a wonderful cast. Richard M. Sherman will be with us and playing and singing a song or two, and we may even have a surprise or two up our Kritzerland sleeve. Come and join us for a joyful, tuneful evening - we'd love to see you there.
