ENCORES 2007 SEASON. Tickets recently went on sale for the 2007 Encores! season. This season's theme is the 100th Anniversary of the Ziegfeld Follies. The resulting lineup is a little weird in that the opener, Follies, was recently on Broadway, and that the third production is a revue of highlights from revues. It's too bad that there's been no room yet for some worthy, more neglected shows such as High Spirits (my personal Drowsy Chaperone), but I'll maintain my trust in the series for now--especially with the Triple Play offer, which enables cheapskates to see all three shows from nosebleed seats for a mere $10 per ticket.
