LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ‘ROUND: THE SONGS OF BOB MERRILL
Presented by the Human Race Theatre Company as part of the 2011 Festival of New Musicals
Aug. 6-7
Dayton
LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ‘ROUND: THE SONGS OF BOB MERRILL is what the writers like to call “A Revusical.” With the book by Duane Poole (book writer of a previous Human Race workshop A CHRISTMAS MEMORY) and musical arrangements by Brad Ellis (arranger and pianist for the hit TV show GLEE) , this romp through the Merrill catalogue is set in a piano bar. Three ladies wander in – in search of something missing in their lives – and connect with the pianist through the music of Bob Merrill. It includes hit songs from his musicals – “Funny Girl,” “Carnival,” “Henry,” “Sweet Henry,” “Take Me Along,” to name just a few, and popular songs like “Mambo Italiano” (another Rosemary Clooney connection), “How Much Is That Doggie In The Window,” “Honeycomb,” “If I Knew You We’re Comin’ I’d’ve Baked a Cake,” and many more.
