Robert B. Sherman - Collaboration From Afar

Collaboration From Afar

From 2002 until his death, Robert Sherman lived in London, England. He moved from Beverly Hills while Richard Sherman remained in California. The geographical separation did not impede the brothers' collaborative process. The brothers credited this to the technological advents of fax machines, email and low-cost international telephone service. Also, both brothers travelled between Los Angeles, New York and London frequently which also facilitated their work. After Robert's move, the brothers continued to collaborate on various musical plays as well as a feature, animated, film musical which incorporates their original story, song score and screenplay. In his later years, Sherman was a frequent visitor to Ireland, stating that the Irish persona was like a "continuous pantomime."
