520 a| Composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb collaborated for more than forty years, longer than any other composer-lyricist partnership in Broadway history. Of the more than twenty musicals they wrote, their two most successful works to reach Broadway, Cabaret and Chicago, also had critically acclaimed Broadway revivals and were made into Oscar-winning films. This book, the first study of Kander and Ebb, examines their artistic accomplishments as individuals and as a team. Drawing on personal papers and on numerous interviews, the author analyzes the unique nature of this collaboration. He discusses their contribution to the concept musical; he examines some of their most popular works including Cabaret, Chicago, and Kiss of the Spider Woman; and he reassesses their apparent flops as well as their incomplete and abandoned projects. Filled with fascinating information, the book is a resource for students of musical theater and lovers of Kander and Ebb's songs and shows.;
