Encores!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New York City Center's Encores!® Great American Musicals in Concert has been performing since 1994. Encores! is dedicated to performing the full score of musicals that may otherwise rarely be heard in New York City. Each season consists of three different shows. The music of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Kurt Weill, George and Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, Kander & Ebb, Jule Styne, and Comden and Green have been heard at an Encores! production.

Actors involved in productions at Encores! appear with book-in-hand, and have had little more than a week or two of rehearsal. Staging and choreography have become more common over the years.
