JOHN KANDER & FRED EBB
Music, Book, Lyrics

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 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.
