Five remarkable female singers Alet Taylor, Juliana Hansen, Melody Hollis, Lauren Rubin and Jane Noseworthy (left to right in photo above) joined music director extraordinaire Shelly Markham at the piano and Bruce Kimmel who introduced the songs in his own inimitable style with delightful anecdotes about the composers and his association with them through Kritzerland. Composer Richard M. Sherman, of Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fame, made a special guest appearance singing and playing the kazoo on 'The Chimpanzoo' cut from Mary Poppins (photo above).

Kritzerland at Sterling’s Presents 'Reel Imagination,' 2/5

January at Vitello's was a terrific way to start the new year. It was so successful that we've decided to bring back more songs recorded by our beloved Michelle Nicastro, this time from her album Reel Imagination, songs from classic family films like The Wizard of Oz, The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, The Muppet Movie, Peter Pan, The Court Jester, Willy Wonka, and more. And we're thrilled to have our very special guest for the evening, the brilliant composer Richard Sherman, who will perform a rare, cut song from one of the greatest family films ever made, Walt Disney's Mary Poppins. It will be an evening filled with great songs that will make you smile, laugh, and warm your heart.
