As a director, he co-directed the 2011 Broadway revival of The Normal Heart with George C. Grey's career has also seen Broadway performances in Come Blow Your Horn, Stop the World I Want to Get Off, Half a Sixpence, George M!, Goodtime Charley, The Grand Tour, Wicked, Anything Goes, and The Cherry Orchard.
The two reunited in 1996 when Grey starred as Amos Hart in the original company of the now long-running revival of Kander's Chicago. The pairing is particularly appropriate as Grey and Kander's careers have been indelibly linked since Grey won a Tony Award creating the role of The Emcee in Kander's 1966 musical Cabaret, a role he would repeat for the 1973 film adaptation, also winning an Academy Award. Kander are true giants of the theatre, and we are honored to say Wilkommen as the recipients of the 2023 Lifetime Achievement Awards." "As a legendary actor and director, Joel Grey has made an everlasting impact, from Cabaret, to Goodtime Charley, The Normal Heart and his acclaimed Yiddish production of Fiddler on the Roof," adds American Theatre Wing President and CEO Heather Hitchens. "John Kander has composed the soundtrack to all of our lives-meeting us in every decade-creating unforgettable scores for Cabaret, Chicago, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and his current Broadway hit New York, New York."
"We are immensely thrilled to honor two legends in their own rights," says Broadway League President Charlotte St. The news was announced by the Tony Administration Committee May 3. Broadway legends Joel Grey and John Kander will both receive 2023 Special Tony Awards for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre.
