Joel Grey and John Kander will receive special honors at this year’s Tony Awards, for lifetime achievements in theater.
Kander became a pianist, vocal coach and conductor in his late 50s and started professionally by preparing dance arrangements for “Gypsy” and “Irma La Douce.” In 1962, Kander co-wrote the musical “A Family Affair” with James and William Goldman. That same year, he was introduced to another up-and-coming writer and lyricist, Fred Ebb.
A Tony and Oscar Award winner, Grey most recently directed the Yiddish production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” He received an Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA for the 1972 film version of “Cabaret,” directed by Bob Fosse. He is one of only nine actors to have won both the Tony and Academy Award for the same role.
