The original production titled, "A Grand Night For Singing! The Rodgers & Hammerstein Revue," ran from March 2 to April 10, 1992 at Rainbow & Stars, the cabaret room at The Rainbow Room Restaurant at Rockefeller Center. It was part of a ten year series of composer-themed revues produced by Gregory Dawson, Steve Paul, and Scott Perrin which saluted Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart (starring Elaine Stritch and Margaret Whiting), Irving Berlin, the Gershwins, Julie Styne, Lerner & Loewe, Leonard Bernstein, and the pop and R&B eras. This original production starred Victoria Clark, Jason Graae, Martin Vidnovic, Lynne Wintersteller, and Karen Ziemba with Musical Direction by Fred Wells. Walter Bobbie directed.
It was nominated for two Tony Awards, for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical (for the running order of the songs since there are no spoken words in the show), and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revue.
