John Kander turns 88 years old today. Happy Birthday, John, and when I'm as old as you, I want to be as young. I can't claim that I've seen a lot of people in their late eighties bound up and down the stairs of the Vineyard Theater, not to mention continue to write surprising new work!
happy birthday to one of my all time favorite composers!
truly one of BROADWAY'S great!!...HAPPY-BIRTHDAY!
Yes indeed, a national treasure, and duly recognized with the National Medal of Arts last year.
And remember all of those touching and heartfelt 75th, 80th and 85th birthday celebrations for him? Broadway really knows how to celebrate its living legends.
Well, I always celebrated those 75th, 80th, and 85th birthdays with John Kander-music-a-thons at my house, but unfortunately, I'm not the NY Phil.
He was at On The 20th Century last night - sitting with Susan Stroman and Debra Monk.
