70, Girls, 70

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.”
