To benefit its new performance space, the West Coast Ensemble Theatre in Hollywood, CA will present the Kander and Ebb revue And The World Goes 'Round from Feb. 24th through 26th and March 3rd through 5th.
The show, which will be directed by Richard Israel, will feature Erika Amato, the frequent BroadwayWorld poster who also leads the band Velvet Chain and who has appeared in regional productions of 42nd Street, Paint Your Wagon, George M! and others.

Originally directed by Scott Ellis with choreography by Susan Stroman (the two conceived the show with David Thomson), And the World Goes 'Round featured Karen Mason, Karen Ziemba, Jim Walton, Robert Cuccioli and Brenda Pressley in its original off-Broadway cast.
