The New York City Center Encores! series has produced more than 80 lesser-known musicals in staged concert versions since 1994, including the long-running Broadway revival of Chicago. This year, they have begun what they plan to make a new annual tradition: exploring iconic American musicals. The first choice, Into the Woods, is the subject of the lastest episode in the organization’s Inside the Revival series, featuring performances by New York City public school students, as well as Broadway stars Todd Almond, Laura Benanti, Philip Boykin, Judy Kuhn, Ruthie Ann Miles, and Donald Webber, Jr. The new documentary series, produced in partnership with filmmaker Juan L. Espinal, streams for free on the Encores! site and City Center’s YouTube channel. Other recent episodes of Inside the Revival explore Love Life, The Tap Dance Kid, and The Life, which were to be part of the Encores! 2020 summer series, until the pandemic shut down Broadway.
