An original musical with book, music & lyrics by Robert J. Sherman, this fantastical story takes place during the ‘Age of Vaudville’ and centres around a quartet of penguins and a trio of parrots who sing and dance in a one-of-a-kind, all-avian revue. When the show’s temperamental star, an Italian, opera-singing macaw (Baalthazar) succumbs to an addiction to “Crunchy Crackers”, it threatens to close down the show forever.
Love Birds officially premiered on 7 August 2015 at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival at Pleasance Two at the Pleasance Courtyard. Prior to its Edinburgh run, the show previewed at the Lost Theatre, Stockwell in London for two performances on 28 and 29 July. The Original Edinburgh Cast Album was recorded on 30 July 2015 and released by SimG Records on 12 August during the Edinburgh Festival season.
“Sherman keeps the spirit of his father and grandfather alive in a new family-friendly show packed with parrots, penguins and plenty of toe-tapping tunes… With its unapologetically catchy tunes, delivered by an unflappably talented cast, the show deserves to take flight…”
