The Encores! series at New York City Center began with a question: “Is anybody doing this?” Judith Daykin, President and Executive Director of City Center from 1992-2003, had just seen an unusual theatrical event: two complete, Golden Age musicals, performed back-to-back with some narrative streamlining, making the evening three hours long, with only one intermission. “It awed me at the time that people would sit there, rapt, for two musicals lumped together with an intermission,” Daykin would remark later in an interview with the American Theater Wing. She realized that the New York audience was hungry to hear the lush scores of old, forgotten musicals from Broadway’s Golden Age—a period loosely defined as taking place between 1943 and 1959. What followed would go down in musical theater history. Daykin began assembling a team to produce concert readings of these musicals. The original team included Ira Weitzman and Rob Fisher. Fisher, Daykin would later say, was a natural choice for music director, as he had been part of the team who had put up the performance she had seen. Now, the Artistic Director of Encores! is Jack Viertel, who conceived Hey, Look Me Over!, and Rob Berman is the music director.
