Akers is perhaps best known for her Tony-nominated turn in the original Broadway production of Nine, as well as the hit 1989 musical Grand Hotel. John Kander is the composing half of legendary songwriting duo Kander and Ebb, whose hits include Chicago, Cabaret and Kiss of the Spider Woman. Below, Akers is seen meeting Kander in the lobby of the Algonquin Hotel, which houses The Oak Room, after last night's performance.
