"LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO 'ROUND:
The songs of  BOB MERRILL"
Starring
Barbara Brussell & Company
Musical Director: Tedd Firth          Creative Consultant:  Joe Regan
With Special Guests:
Matt Leahy, Mark Hartman, David Gurland, and Scott Coulter

When Barbara Brussell agreed to do her Bob Merrill show, we knew we were all in for a wonderful treat.  But, we didn't realize HOW WONDERFUL!!  So many composers are underrated, and Bob Merrill is definitely one who is.  Just look at the program that Brussell & Company performed.  It wasn't that long ago (at least not to me) but it is still a wonderful trip down Memory Lane.  And Barbara got the best of the best to round out her "Company."  Tedd Firth and Mark Hartman are extraordinary on ordinary days, and really outdid themselves with Barbara and her super friends: Matt Leahy, David Gurland and Scot Coulter.  It is impossible to praise them enough.
