New Kritzerland Concert to Pay Tribute to Richard M. Sherman at Catalina Jazz Club

For the 127th Kritzerland show, the evening will be spent honoring and celebrating the life and work of the beloved Richard M. Sherman of The Sherman Brothers, who sadly passed away recently and who was a beloved and loyal fan of the Kritzerland shows right from the beginning.
 
Last year, Kritzerland had a 95th birthday concert for Richard and he and his wife, Elizabeth were there. This year, it’s quite possible that he’ll be with everyone in spirit from above. The set list contains lots of the all-time favorite Sherman Brothers songs, plus some songs Richard wrote alone and with other collaborators. A great cast has been assembled and there’ll be some surprises, too. So, come share the unique joy and positivity that Richard spread throughout the world - a lifetime of joy.
 
Early reservations are highly recommended - last year’s birthday concert was completely sold out. Kritzerland is produced and hosted by Bruce Kimmel and co-produced by Doug Haverty.
