Although it won star Liza Minnelli a Tony Award, the show closed after only 87 performances. Their second collaboration, "Cabaret", was considerably more successful, running for 1,165-performances. Directed by Prince and based on the John Van Druten play "I Am a Camera" (which, in turn, was based on the writing of Christopher Isherwood), the musical starred Jill Haworth as Sally Bowles, Bert Convy as Clifford Bradshaw, Lotte Lenya as Fräulein Schneider and Joel Grey as the emcee. The original Broadway production opened on November 20, 1966 and won eight of the 11 Tony Awards for which it was nominated, including Best Musical and Best Score. Adapted into a film by Bob Fosse, it won eight Academy Awards, though not Best Picture. It was revived three times, first in 1987 with Grey reprising his role and again in 1998 in a long-running revival, originally starring Alan Cumming as the emcee and Natasha Richardson as Sally Bowles. The third revival began in 2014 and also starred Alan Cumming this time alongside Michelle Williams. Their next few works were less successful: "The Happy Time" (1968), directed by Gower Champion and starring Robert Goulet, ran for less than a year. "Zorba" (1968), directed by Prince, also ran less than a year, though it was more successful in its 1983 revival; and "70, Girls, 70" (1971), which was originally intended as an off-Broadway production, closed after 35 performances. In 1972, he wrote the television special, "Liza with a Z" for Liza Minnelli. In 1974, Kander, Ebb and Fosse contributed to a concert for Liza Minnelli on Broadway. In 1973 Ebb wrote the television special that marked Frank Sinatra's comeback from retirement, "Magnavox Presents Frank Sinatra" (also known as "Ol' Blue Eyes Is Back"). The show featured Sinatra and guest star Gene Kelly in duet on the song "Can't Do That Anymore", written by Ebb for his abandoned musical with Kander and Dale Wasserman, "Wait for Me, World!". In 1975, the team wrote the score to "Funny Lady", the sequel to "Funny Girl". "Chicago" (1975) had mixed reviews but ran for more than two years on Broadway. Starring Chita Rivera, Jerry Orbach and Gwen Verdon in her last Broadway role, it suffered from a cynical attitude, which contrasted with the record-breaking popularity of "A Chorus Line".
