Wonderful Town is part of the 2025 Encores! Series. This series of concert stagings revisits the archives of American musical theater.
Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical, Wonderful Town tells the story of two sisters in 1935 who move from Ohio to Greenwich Village to pursue their artistic dreams and maybe find love along the way. Ruth, an aspiring writer, and Eileen, an aspiring actress, encounter an assortment of colorful characters as they strive and sing to delightful tunes by the great Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by legendary musical-comedy duo Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
Zhailon Levingston (Cats: "The Jellicle Ball") directs this celebration of New York City as a magnet for people from all walks of life who come here to fulfill their aspirations. Led by Mary-Mitchell Campbell, the 28-piece Encores! Orchestra brings the beloved Golden Age sound—featuring marvelous songs like “Ohio” and “One Hundred Easy Ways”—back to life at City Center.
