Some of you will love this. Recently, I attended and plugged mightily a revue about the city I grew up in. It was called L.A. Now and Then and no, you can't go see it…now, anyway. It closed but there are rumors it will be coming back. This is a number from that show, which was largely the work of writer-director-producer Bruce Kimmel.
Other folks who wrote songs and sketches for it, though. This one was written by Disney Legend Richard Sherman, who with his late brother Robert wrote all the songs for Mary Poppins, many of the songs for Disney theme parks and other movies, and even a lot of non-Disney things. It's a tune about the Disney Studios and the extraordinary man he worked for there and it's performed here by Robert Yacko.
This video is not from opening night. I was there opening night and so was Richard Sherman. At one point in the video, you'll see an ancient photo of him and his brother and when it was projected opening night, the audience broke into a loud, loving ovation. Even without that moment, it's still a touching number…
