The World Goes ‘Round was conceived by director Scott Ellis, choreographer Susan Stroman, and librettist David Thompson, and was first presented off-Broadway to critical raves in 1991.  It won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical Revue.  Audiences are taken on a journey through an eclectic collection of love songs, torch songs, and acerbically witty numbers from Kander and Ebb shows, including showstoppers like “Cabaret” and “New York, New York” to lesser-known gems like “A Quiet Thing” from Flora the Red Menace. The entire collection represents Kander and Ebb’s major work over 26 years of collaboration with songs from:  The Happy Time, Woman of the Year, Chicago, Funny Lady, Flora the Red Menace, Kiss of the Spider Woman and Cabaret and the movie New York, New York.
