Kander Has A New Partner, Eight Years After Ebb’s Death

Kander and Ebb were the legendary team who created Cabaret, Chicago and well over a dozen other musicals over five decades. Fred Ebb died in 2004, but composer John Kander, now 85, has a new lyricist partner: Greg Pierce, 34, “more earnest and less deadpan than Ebb, but just as determined and, lately, just as busy.”
