''A Grand Night for Singing'' is a musical revue showcasing the music of Richard Rodgers and the lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein II. Featuring songs from such lesser-known works as ''Allegro'', ''Me and Juliet'', ''State Fair'', and ''Pipe Dream'', modest successes like ''Flower Drum Song'' and hits like ''Carousel'', ''Oklahoma!'', ''The King and I'', ''South Pacific'', ''Cinderella'' and ''The Sound of Music'', it originally was presented cabaret-style at Rainbow & Stars at the top of Rockefeller Center. After 41 previews, the Broadway production, directed by Walter Bobbie (who wrote the minimal book linking the tunes) and choreographed by Pamela Sousa, with vocal arrangements by Fred Wells and orchestrations by Michael Gibson and Jonathan Tunick, opened on November 17, 1993 at the Criterion Center Stage Right, where it ran for 52 performances. Victoria Clark, Jason Graae, Alyson Reed, Martin Vidnovic, and Lynne Wintersteller comprised the cast. Martin Vidnovic is replaced by Gregg Edelman in the cast recording, and some later performances. It was nominated for two Tony Awards, for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revue. An original cast recording was released by Varèse Sarabande. ==Song list== ;Act I *"Carousel Waltz" (from ''Carousel'') *"So Far" (from ''Allegro'') *"It's a Grand Night for Singing" (from ''State Fair'') *"The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" (from ''Oklahoma!'') *"Stepsisters' Lament" (from ''Cinderella'') *"We Kiss in a Shadow" (from ''The King and I'') *"Hello, Young Lovers" (from ''The King and I'') *"A Wonderful Guy" (from ''South Pacific'') *"I Cain't Say No" (from ''Oklahoma!'') *"Maria" (from ''The Sound of Music'') *"Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?"
