Search - Charlotte Wakefield, Greg Castiglioni, Emma Williams :: A Spoonful of Sherman (Original London Cast Recording)

Extolled by the London Times (4 stars) and WhatsOnStage (4 stars), this critically acclaimed cabaret revue celebrates ninety years and three generations of Sherman family songwriting. Narrated by third generation Sherman songwriter Robert J. Sherman, the cabaret is introduced as a tribute to Sherman's father, Robert B. Sherman (1925-2012). It begins with Al Sherman's Tin Pan Alley hits then segues into celebrated Disney tunesmiths, Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman aka "The Sherman Brothers"' library of renown songs. Critic Edward Seckerson sums it up: "A cavalcade of Sherman, three generations, no medicine, just charm, and one or two genuine surprises...A real surprise to demonstrate the legacy lives on - "Music Of The Spheres" by Robert J. Sherman. I want to hear that again."

The double-disc recording features a 20-page color booklet, narration by Robert J. Sherman, and over 40 classic Sherman songs. Produced by Nick Lloyd Webber. Music Direction by Colin Billing.
