John N. is back with a few solo episodes - and trying something a little different. This week, he introduces the short series of "Dynamic Duos" - pairs of collaborators on Broadway that you may or may not be aware of, but probably should; then pairs it with a show that you'll probably know and maybe even love from that duo. First up is the writing team of John Kander (composer) and Fred Ebb (lyricist). What began as an introduction in 1962 fermented into a 42-year collaboration with movies, shows, and songs to their credit. They started modestly with "Flora: The Red Menace", but soon had such hits as "Cabaret", "Chicago", and many more.

For the third entry in the February Flops series, John and John discuss Kander and Ebb's very first show together, and how it doesn't... really say anything? But it's fascinating to see the birth of this dynamic duo and also the introduction of Liza Minelli into the larger Broadway sphere.

This is a conversation about the intriguing Kander & Ebb musical "Flora the Red Menace," which served as Liza Minelli's Broadway debut (for which she won a Tony Award) when it opened back in 1965 ... but which has not been nearly as well-known nor as often performed as Kander & Ebb's two biggest hits, "Cabaret" and "Chicago." I speak with Neil Scharnick, Molly Kampfer and Cassidy Skorija about Carthage College's production of the show, which opens this weekend. Neil is the director- Molly and Cassidy, two senior music theater majors at Carthage, are in the cast.
