WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Encores! presents the first full-scale restoration of Irving Berlin and Moss Hart's Face the Music, a 1932 musical about a desperate producer in New York trying to raise the money for his latest revue, Rhinestones of '32. The show, one of Berlin's personal favorites, contains a pair of depression-era classics - "Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee" and "Soft Lights and Sweet Music."
New York City Center Encores! has, since 1994, celebrated the rarely-heard works of America's most important composers and lyricists. Conceived as "concert versions," each Encores! season gives three scores the chance to be heard as originally intended by their creators.

Composer Jerome Kern once said, "Irving Berlin has no place in American music. He is American music." Kern's assessment is proved correct again in Face the Music which could almost be categorized as a "new" musical. The show has been reconstructed and adapted, with flashes of ge[...]
