New York City Center also known as City Center of Music and Drama, is a 2,750-seat Moorish Revival concert hall located at 131 West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues in Manhattan, New York City. It is one block south of Carnegie Hall. City Center is home to the Fall for Dance Festival, the Encores! series, and several major dance companies.
Consistently attracting the best Broadway talent and discovering the stars of the future, Encores! has garnered several awards, including the 2000 Tony® Honor for Excellence in Theatre, the Lucille Lortel, and the Outer Critics Circle. When the 1996 Encores! production of Chicago (with Bebe Neuwirth, James Naughton, and Ann Reinking) was remounted on Broadway it received six Tony awards, the most ever given to a musical revival. In response to the success of the "Fall for Dance Festival" it has expanded its run to ten nights and offers 10 performances, 6 unique programs, and 30 companies on 1 stage.
