For our 49th Kritzerland show, we celebrate our four-year anniversary of doing monthly shows. We began in September 2010 at the Gardenia. We moved to Michael Sterling's room at Vitello's for only three months, before finding our new home here at Kritzerland at Sterling's Upstairs at The Federal. As with our past three anniversary shows, this one is a potpourri - no theme other than the songs have been recorded by producer Bruce Kimmel on various albums that we haven't gotten to yet or songs we weren't able to include because of time. But it's also the ten-year anniversary of Bruce Kimmel's hit musical revue, What If, so we're celebrating that, too, by doing a few of its parody numbers. We've assembled an amazing cast, and have two great guest stars - Kerry O'Malley and the wonderful Bruce Vilanch. It will be an evening of wonderful songs, lots of humor and fantastic performances. As with our past anniversary shows, as our gift to our loyal and incredible audiences, this show will have no cover charge. These anniversary shows sell out in about ten minutes so don't delay because when they're sold out they're sold out, although we will be taking a waiting list and usually we have no-shows and the waiting list usually does get in.

This show is likely to be jam-packed. We recommend early reservations. Don't wait until the last minute!

The only way to reserve: 818-754-8700. Your phone reservation will be confirmed (usually a few days before the show). Dinner reservations: DOORS OPEN 5:30pm. SHOW STARTS 7:00pm! Reservations have already started coming in, and are highly recommended. FOR THIS SHOW ONLY: NO COVER CHARGE! $10 food minimum + $4 facility charge. Yes! You can eat dinner and see the show for only about $15!
