“Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad – but the world goes 'round.” Life – with its glories, indignities, hopes and quiet dreams – is the subject of this stunning revue of the beloved songs of John Kander and Fred Ebb. The vast range of human experience is explored in song after impeccable song by one of Broadway’s most daring and successful teams and masters of the heart-grabbing Broadway showstopper. This glittering revue features unforgettable gems from throughout their incredible career in theatre, film and television, spotlighting songs from “Cabaret;” “Chicago;” “New York, New York;” “Funny Lady;” “Kiss Of The Spiderwoman” and more.
Director Scott Ellis and choreographer Susan Stroman shaped the original production into one of the most memorable, well-constructed revues since “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” with a small, multi-talented cast, gorgeous vocal arrangements, sizzling orchestrations and delightfully inventive staging involving banjos, roller skates, shopping carts and more! (Their helpful suggestions are available in an optional staging guide.)
Filled with humor, romance, drama, nonstop melody and brassy, insightful lyrics, “The World Goes ‘Round” is a thrilling celebration of life and the fighting spirit that keeps us all going.
