:in The World Goes Wound"

Manfredi said in an interview with the
Jewish News. "We're trying to push the
envelope at Meadow Brook, but we're
doing it slowly."
The World Goes 'Round is one of two
Meadow Brook productions linked
this season to the commemoration of
350 years of Jews in America; the
other play was Alfred Uhry's Driving
Miss Daisy. Manfredi characterizes
Detroit's Jewish community as "a very
arts-friendly community."

Like One Person

A Broadway musical aficionado once
summed up Kander and Ebb's talent:
"They write Broadway — in the best
sense." He added: "Their collabora-
tion wasn't just with each other. It was
with the book writer, choreographer,
director, actors and, ultimately, with
the audience."
Kander explains it this way. "We
never had an argument or a falling
out, and our differences seemed to
complement each other. When we
were at our best, we sounded like one
person."
In the book Colored Lights; 40 Years
of Words and Music, Show Biz,
Collaboration and All That Jazz as told
to Greg Lawrence (Faber and Faber;
$23), Kander reflects on growing up
in a Jewish family that had been in
Kansas City for a number of genera-
tions.
"Being a Jewish family meant practi-
cally nothing, except that we knew we
were Jewish," he says. "We were much
less tied to the traditional Jewish neu-
roses, those famous neuroses that sup-
posedly exist. There were a couple of
rabbis in the family, but we only
observed the High Holy Days."
Kander began his career in 1956 as a
rehearsal pianist; he then did dance
arrangements for the musicals Gypsy
and Irma La Douce. With A Family
Affair in 1962, he made his Broadway
debut as a composer. The show
flopped, but it led to his association
with Ebb.
Ebb reminisces in Colored Lights

about "growing up Jewish and lower
middle class in New York City, where
I never had a hint of [musical] culture.
As a boy, I had very little exposure to
the arts. I would not have known what
a philharmonic meant. I had no idea
what an opera or concert hall looked
like."
