Composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb are the longest-running
song-writing partnership in Broadway history, having first joined
forces in 1962. The creators of such groundbreaking musicals as
"Chicago," "Cabaret," and" Kiss of the Spider Woman," Kander and
Ebb have helped to push American musical theater in a more daring
direction, both musically and dramatically. Their impact on
individual performers has been great as well, starting with the
handpicked star of their first musical: an untested
nineteen-year-old named Liza Minnelli (who writes of this
experience in her introduction).
"Colored Lights" covers the major shows of Kander and Ebb's
partnership, from "Flora, the Red Menace" (starring a then-unknown
Liza) to "The Visit," their newest show, which is set to star
another Kander and Ebb favorite, Chita Rivera. The pages and
musicals in between reveal what has made theirs such an important
and long-lived musical partnership--and one so valued by the
artists they have worked with. In recounting the genesis and
controversies of "Cabaret," reflecting on the superstar mentality
of such artists as Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand, and
recalling their work with Bob Fosse on "Chicago" (as well as their
thoughts on the Oscar-winning film version), John Kander and Fred
Ebb provide a history not only of their own lives but also of the
American musical theater of the late twentieth century.
