I'm a newcomer to the New York theater scene, and I'm sure others are more knowledgeable and discerning. But I really enjoyed all three Encores productions this year, and I'm in awe of the hard work and talent up on that stage. My personal favorite, maybe surprisingly, was Superman. I know it's supposed to be the lightest in terms of content—enjoyable fluff, maybe. But I loved the score, and I think the show received a wonderful Encores production in terms of staging, performances, and choreography. Do you have a favorite of the three? Also, Cotton Club Parade was a "special" production, and I loved that one too!

I only saw SUPERMAN...so it would really be unfair of me to pick it against FIORELLO! and ON YOUR TOES.
But I will say that SUPERMAN was very entertaining and well done and I've heard very positive feedback about FIORELLO! and ON YOUR TOES.

Posted: 5/13/13 at 12:25pmDefinitely Superman - it was easily the best cast production of the season, and the Eddie Sauter orchestrations were thrilling and let the orchestra really show off.

Posted: 5/13/13 at 12:28pmThere was no contest: it was Superman by a mile. One of the best Encores presentations I've ever seen (of about 20).

Posted: 5/13/13 at 12:35pmI agree that the best was also Superman, but I enjoyed them all!
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Posted: 5/13/13 at 12:42pmSuperman was easily my LEAST favorite. I found it very sloppy. Fiorello was definitely my favorite this season (though I thought all 3 paled in comparison to last year's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and the previous year's Where's Charley? and Bells Are Ringing.

Posted: 5/13/13 at 12:46pmI absolutely love Encores! And I've been lucky enough to see every production over the past six years. Superman was easily my favorite this year. Last season was pretty spectacular.
