Kritzerland at Sterling's Announces TAKE ME ALONG Bob Merrill Tribute for 4/1, North Hollywood

Kritzerland at Sterling's will host TAKE ME ALONG, a tribute to the great songs of Bob Merrill, both as composer/lyricist and lyricist, on April 1st at 7pm.

The show will feature: Julie Garnyé (National tour, Cats; Hair in Concert, Children of Eden in Concert), Juliana Hansen (Millie, Thoroughly Modern Millie, first national tour), Melody Hollis (Broadway: Susan in Irving Berlin’s White Christmas), Kristofer McNeeley (National/Broadway: Jersey Boys; Reprise’s Sunday in the Park), Jeffrey Todd (Bat Boy; South Coast Rep’s Lucky Duck, Emperor’s New Clothes) with Special Guest Lainie Kazan and Music Director Christy Crowl.

From his beginnings as a pop songwriter (“How Much is That Doggy in the Window?” “Mambo Italiano,” “Honeycomb,” and many others), to his debut as a Broadway songwriter with New Girl in Town, which was followed by Take Me Along and then his huge hit, Carnival, to the assignment that would bring him the most fame, writing lyrics to Jule Styne’s music for Funny Girl, to his succession of less successful shows such as Henry, Sweet Henry, Prettybelle, and Sugar (the latter two also with Styne). Merrill wrote incredibly tuneful, fun songs, and as usual, we’ve got the hits and the obscure with a great cast and our very special guest, Lainie Kazan, who appeared in the original Broadway company of Funny Girl.

Tickets are By Reservation Only: 818 754-8700, with Dinner reservations: From 5:30 pm – 6:00 pm.
