For the 79th Kritzerland show, we present the magical music of Mancini - Henry Mancini, one of the most successful film composers and songwriters in history. From Peter Gunn to Mr. Lucky, to Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, Days of Wine and Roses to Two for the Road, The Pink Panther and Hatari, and straight through to first the film of Victor/Victoria and then the stage version, Mancini Magic has been the music of people's lives.
Working with such great lyricists as Johnny Mercer, Hal David, Leslie Bricusse, and Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Mancini's had many number one hit songs, won three Oscars and numerous other awards. So, join us for an evening of some incredibly beautiful and tuneful music - you'll hear a lot of your Mancini favorites and classics, and being a Kritzerland show we can guarantee you you'll be hearing some things you haven't heard before. We've assembled a great cast, along with the brilliant guitarist Grant Geissman.
You'll want to book this one early. Kritzerland is produced and hosted by Bruce Kimmel and co-produced by Doug Haverty.
