The age of vaudeville. A quartet of penguins (last seen waiting on a nanny and her chimneysweep friend in Mary Poppins) and a trio of parrots sing and dance, dazzling and delighting their audiences, night after night in this one-of-a-kind, all-avian revue. But when the show’s temperamental cracker-crazed macaw star mysteriously goes missing, it threatens to close down the show for good.

From the same team that brought you A Spoonful of Sherman ★★★★ (Times), Robert J Sherman’s new family musical Love Birds continues the snappy song-writing legacy of his family, handed down from his grandfather (Tin Pan Alley composer Al Sherman) through his father and uncle, Robert B and Richard Sherman, a.k.a the Sherman Brothers, world famous for their Oscar-winning Disney hits like Mary Poppins,as well as The Jungle Book, The Aristocats and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Love Birds premieres at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival, where it runs daily at 12.35pm 5-31 August at the Pleasance Courtyard. After the festival, the Birds have set their sights on London, the rest of the UK and the world.

These sample tracks are the original Edinburgh cast album, released on 17 August 2015 and produced by SimGProductions.
