Description:
AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND: THE MUSIC OF KANDER & EBB
A Musical by David Thompson, Scott Ellis and Susan Stromen
 
When John Kander and Fred Ebb met in 1962, it was the be- ginning of one of the most successful pairings of two musical theatre talents since Richard Rodgers met Oscar Hammerstein.
Their first show together was Flora The Red Menace. It wasn’t a big hit, but it was a great learning experience and it also introduced a bright new talent to the world named Liza Minnelli (a lady who continued to inspire and champion their work for the rest of her career)! Their first great success was Cabaret! From then on, Kander and Ebb produced one ground-breaking show after another: Chicago, Zorba, 70 Girls 70, Woman Of The Year and Kiss Of The Spider Woman. And The World Goes ‘Round celebrates 50 years of great Kander and Ebb standards, songs like “All That Jazz,” “Cabaret,” “Ring Them Bells,” “Maybe This Time,” “My Coloring Book,” Sometimes a Day Goes By,” “The Grass is Always Greener,” “How Lucky Can You Get?” and the anthem they wrote in tribute to The Big Apple, “New York, New York!”
