A VISIT WITH KANDER AND EBB will feature McKechnie and her special Broadway guests offering a kaleidoscope of classic Broadway songs from the illustrious career of John Kander and Fred Ebb.

A special tribute is paid to the last score they wrote together... The Visit. Featuring special guests Matt Dengler and Emily Mechler.
