Tony winner Bebe Neuwirth, Tony nominees Judy Kuhn, Vanessa Williams, and Carolee Carmello, and more star in the City Center Encores! production of Hey, Look Me Over! The original revue, which opens the 25th season of the Tony-honored series, is presented February 7–11.

Bob Martin, nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in The Drowsy Chaperone, returns to his role as Man-in-Chair, who turns out to be a longtime Encores! subscriber, ready to lead audiences through this guided tour of musical sequences.
In addition to Martin, Neuwirth, Kuhn, Williams, and Carmello, the production stars Clyde Alves, Clifton Duncan, Marc Kudisch, Tam Mutu, Nancy Opel, Douglas Sills, Alexandra Socha, Reed Birney, and Britney Coleman.
