WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
From the creators of the Encores! favorite Chicago, New York City Center Encores! presents Kander & Ebb's 70, Girls, 70. This zany musical comedy features an all-star lineup of Broadway veterans, who over the years, have also become our television and film favorites; Charlotte Rae, Anita Gillette, Carole Cook, Tina Fabrique, Mary Jo Catlett, Bob Dishy, Mark Price, Tony Award-winner George S. Irving, and in her musical debut - Academy Award-winner Olympia Dukakis. Watch as this group of senior citizens living on New York's Upper West Side regain their zest for life by forming a ring of unlikely thieves, wreaking havoc in stores from Sadies' Second Hand Furs to Bloomingdales. John Kander and Fred Ebb provide a score that is, by turns, sweet and brassy, and includes "Broadway, My Street," "Coffee In a Cardboard Cup," and "See the Light."

In 1971, John Kander and Fred Ebb's 70, Girls, 70, was the third show in just four months to capitalize on the charms of nostalgia; it followed No, No, Nanette, which bowed in January, and Follies, which opened just 11 days earlier. The modestly pleasant City Center Encores! revival of 70, Girls, 70 makes it quite clear why this show was the least commercially successful of the trio, running merely a month and being virtually ignored at Tony time.
First and foremost, there's the decidedly dopey book, loosely based on a little-known play called Breath of Spring. Feisty senior Ida Dodd (Olympia Dukakis, showing off her trademark trenchant delivery and a passable singing voice) returns after a[...]
