From: Photo Coverage: The Historic New York City Center Reopens Post Renovation!

New York City Center has just reopened following a historic renovation and modernization with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and star-studded gala last night, October 25 at New York City Center. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg conducted The Encores! Orchestra in the opening number (as a nod to Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, who conducted the New York Philharmonic when City Center opened as a performing arts center in 1943). BroadwayWorld was there for the special occasion, and brings you full photo coverage below! BroadwayWorld was there for the special occasion, and brings you full photo coverage below!
