The 20th Season of Classic Musical Revivals
This is a "staged concert". It is similar to the Encores series at City Center. The entire show is presented. Actors do have their scripts in hand and refer to them as needed. They wear costumes and there is a hint of scenery. They enter and exit as per stage directions. There is a piano on stage and no amplification
