"Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad - but the world goes 'round."

Life and the fighting spirit that keeps us all going are the subjects of this stunning revue featuring the beloved music of John Kander and Fred Ebb. Including songs from their hit Broadway musicals Chicago, Cabaret, Kiss of the Spider Woman and many more, The World Goes 'Round shows how versatile the music of Kander & Ebb truly is and why they are rightly considered to be one of the most daring and successful teams in the history of American musical theatre.

11th Hour is taking a completely new approach to this piece, setting it within the context of newspaper headlines and stories from the past few years. It will examine life in the new millennium, full of childhood stars gone-wrong, low-carb diets, reality TV, and five-dollar frappaccinos, and how, despite these things, the world continues to "Go 'Round."
