About "The World Goes 'Round"
>From smashes ranging from Chicago to Kiss of the Spider Woman, Kander and
Ebb's show tunes showcase the musical at its zenith. 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. This sophisticated, splashy, poignant and wacky musical
revue doesn't miss a beat with its brilliant arrangements of selections from
Cabaret, Kiss of the Spider Woman, New York, New York, Funny Lady and of
course, Chicago.
