WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW is a show dedicated to honoring the award-winning music of songwriting icon Burt Bacharach.

With a catalog that spans seventy-three U.S. and fifty-two UK Top 40 hits (six of which hit #1), six Grammy Awards, three Academy Awards, and an Emmy, there is no shortage of songs known across the world.

Just citing “The Look of Love,” “What The World Needs Now,” “Walk On By,” “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head,” and “Do You Know The Way To San Jose” speaks to how deeply this body of work has become the soundtrack to our lives.

Former Bacharach music director/arranger Rob Shirakbari brings this show on the road, featuring the legendary Todd Rundgren and Wendy Moten from The Voice, leading a 9-piece multi-instrumentalist ensemble that has worked with Brian Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Adele, Stevie Wonder, and Elvis Costello.
