WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Encores! season concludes with Stairway to Paradise, starring Kristin Chenoweth, Kevin Chamberlin, Christopher Fitzgerald and Ruthie Henshall. The cast also includes Jenn Gambatese, Michael Gruber, Shonn Wiley, J. Mark McVey, Holly Cruikshank, Kendrick Jones and Capathia Jenkins.
This first-ever specially created Encores! production is a celebration of the very best material from a half century of Broadway revues, and includes numbers and sketches from Florenz Ziegfeld's shows and other legendary musicals and revues of the era.
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.

It's a sentiment sure to be shared upon exiting Stairway to Paradise, Encores! first original production in its history, which spotlights the work of over 35 composers and lyricists in a salute to the theatrical revue.
If only a handful of moments in this consistently effervescent show rise to the level of Dom Perignon, most are at least as bubbly as a glass of Moët. Conceived by Encores! artistic director Jack Viertel in honor of the 100th anniversary of The Ziegfeld Follies -- though not a single number from those shows are sung until the surprise encore -- Stairway [...]
