A Spoonful of Sherman - Original London Cast 2015

The critically acclaimed cabaret revue that celebrates 90 years and 3 generations of Sherman family songwriting. Al Sherman was one of the most sought after songwriters on Tin Pan Alley, with songs recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, amongst others.

In 2014, together with musical director Colin Billing, Robbie created A Spoonful Of Sherman to celebrate his family’s astonishing songwriting legacy.
