Today we are talking to the legendary Broadway and Hollywood composer best known for his work with estimable lyricist Fred Ebb on legendary shows such as CABARET, CHICAGO, THE RINK, KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN and THE VISIT - as well as the classic, Oscar-winning film adaptations of those first two shows - who also composed the unofficial New York anthem 'New York, New York' and yesterday premiered his newest original musical on Broadway: THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS - none other than thoughtful and gentle genius John Kander. We discuss his fifty-year career writing with Fred Ebb, writing for Liza Minnelli and Kristin Chenoweth, working with directors like Bob Fosse, Hal Prince and Susan Stroman, plus his thoughts on GLEE, the future of his shows written before Ebb's passing - as well as some SCOTTSBORO BOYS talk - in this comprehensive conversation on all things razzle-dazzlingly resplendent as only Kander & Ebb can claim be. Plus, Kander dissects and discusses the writing process of five of his finest compositions! Start spreadin' the news...

'Damn Yankees' may not be the greatest musical, but the production currently playing at Toby's Dinner Theatre of Baltimore is still a good time for the whole family.

REVIEW: The movie comes to life in this spectacular, heartfelt production at Toby's Dinner Theatre of Baltimore!

The album True Love came about because of the untimely death of Broadway star Daniel McDonald on February 15, 2007 - the same day as his son Fosco's 6th birthday. Daniel and his wife Mujah came up with the idea of Daniel recording an album for posterity - a way to capture the voice that lit up Broadway for all time - for his family, fans and to inspire all of those who listen. True Love is about preservation of life at its best. A spouse or parent in the position of being faced with the loss of a husband and father bears the responsibility of preserving and relaying memories. McDonald died of brain cancer and the album, coming out at the end of May or beginning of June, promises to allow his legacy to live on through music.

Top Honors for the best of local regional theatre productions in 2007.
