AUDIO: Listen to Christine Ebersole, Ruthie Henshall, and More on ENCORES! Cast Recording of ZIEGFELD FOLLIES OF 1936

Yesterday marked 80 years since the opening night of Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin's Ziegfeld Follies of 1936, a star-studded revue that more or less vanished after its original run. For a single weekend in March 1999, a few thousand lucky New Yorkers got to see the show in an Encores! production starring Christine Ebersole, Ruthie Henshall, Howard McGillin, Mary Testa, and Karen Ziemba.

To celebrate ZF36's eightieth anniversary, New York City Center has just released five songs from the out-of-print Encores! cast recording. Take a listen to all of them below!
