The cast consisted of four rising West End theatre stars including Charlotte Wakefield, Emma Williams, Stuart Matthew Price and Greg Castiglioni. Musical Direction was provided by Colin Billing and the show was directed by Stewart Nicholls.〔http://www.stjamestheatre.co.uk/events/a-spoonful-of-sherman/〕 Lighting was designed by the show's Stage Manager Andrew Holton. ==Production== The show was produced by MusicWorld (UK) in association with the St. James Theatre, James Albrecht, Creative Director.

''A Spoonful of Sherman'' received outstanding notices, garnering four stars from Clive Davis of the London Times〔http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/stage/theatre/article3974955.ece〕 as well as four and five star reviews from dozens of other papers and online reviewers.〔http://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php/39788/a-spoonful-of-sherman〕〔http://musicaltheatrereview.com/a-spoonful-of-sherman-st-james-studio-theatre/#.U8QYOKVgods〕〔http://www.ayoungertheatre.com/review-a-spoonful-of-sherman-st-james-theatre-2/〕 The show covered ninety years of Sherman songwriting (including material written by the Sherman Brothers' father, Al Sherman (who began writing music in the early 1920s.) Songs written by the younger Robert Sherman were also included in the show as well) but the focus of the evening was the music and lyrics of Robert B. Sherman and the Sherman Brothers. "In deciding what songs to select, particular emphasis was put on material that would propel the narrative of Robert B. Sherman's life story forward. My narration would then fill in the gaps. Of course almost all of the famous stuff made it in. ''Mary Poppins'', ''Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'', ''Winnie the Pooh'' , ''The Jungle Book'' and "It's A Small World (After All)" were represented, but I'm particularly pleased that we were able to include some unexpected gems in the mix as well."〔Robert J. Sherman comments on "A Spoonful of Sherman" on the SHERMAN BROTHERS FACEBOOK GROUP page https://www.facebook.com/groups/SHERMANBROTHERS/〕 ''A Spoonful of Sherman'' was so successful in its own right, that further shows were scheduled for April 2014.
