Encores!: Titanic

City Center's invaluable Encores! series concludes its 2024 season with a concert staging of Maury Yeston and Peter Stone's Tony-winning 1997 musical about hubris, humanity and one very inconvenient iceberg. The always astute Anne Kauffman directs a cast that includes Ramin Karimloo, Bonnie Milligan, Chip Zien, Judy Kuhn, Brandon Uranowtiz, Jose Llana, Andrew Durand, Adam Chanler-Berat, A.J. Shively, Alex Joseph Grayson, Drew Gehling, Samatha Williams and three members of the talented Cooper family: Chuck, Lilli and Eddie. Encores! has been on fire this season, and this first-class show is no exception; it is a return to the series’s core mandate, assembling an impossibly deluxe cast and orchestra to perform a musical that has many interesting features—including its gorgeous choral opening and finale—but which can probably never be revived otherwise.
