To kick off Encores! at 25, we’ve created Hey, Look Me Over!—a new musical about Broadway gems that have yet to be revived on the Encores! stage.

Bob Martin, as his beloved Man in Chair character from The Drowsy Chaperone, plays an opinionated Encores! subscriber who leads the audience on a guided (and sometimes mis-guided) tour of his favorite scenes and songs from musicals he’s always wanted to see at City Center: All American, George M!, Greenwillow, Jamaica, Mack & Mabel, Milk and Honey, Sail Away, and Wildcat.

A cavalcade of stars—including Clyde Alves, Reed Birney, Carolee Carmello, Britney Coleman, Clifton Duncan, Marc Kudisch, Judy Kuhn, Tam Mutu, Bebe Neuwirth, Nancy Opel, Douglas Sills, Alexandra Socha, and Vanessa Williams—join Martin for overtures, musical scenes, a first act finale, a grand finale, and maybe more.

Nothing quite like it has ever been attempted before.

Hey, Look Me Over! is part of Encores! at 25, which also includes Grand Hotel, The Musical and Me and My Girl.
