The John Kander and Fred Ebb collaboration of four decades created what many would consider Broadway standards and contemporary classics: Flora, the Red Menace, Cabaret (Tony Award), The Happy Time, Zorba, 70, Girls, 70, Chicago, The Act, Woman of the Year (Tony Award, Best Score), The Rink, Kiss of the Spider Woman (Tony Award, Best Score), and Steel Pier. Their collaboration also transferred itself to movies and television as they wrote original material for the Academy Awards, “Liza With a Z” (Emmy Award), HBO’s “Liza Minnelli’s Stepping Out” (Emmy Award), Funny Lady (Oscar nominated for “How Lucky Can You Get”), Lucky Lady, New York, New York, Stepping Out, and Chicago (Oscar nominated for Best Song). In the mid ’80s the song “New York, New York” became the official anthem of New York City. At the time of the unfortunate death of Mr. Ebb, Kander and Ebb had several projects in different stages of completion waiting in the wings: All About Us, Curtains and The Scottsboro Boys. Life goes on.
