If anyone knows you do:

Is there a site that lists non–Tony eligible shows at City Center?

Musicals should be listed on ovrtur.com. I can't guarantee every single one is listed there, but most should be, even if there may be problems and inconsistencies in the specific info on particular productions.

Are you going on the idea that ibdb lists all City Center productions that were Tony-eligibile? I don't think that's true. I rather think that ibdb just doesn't really know what it's doing with City Center, although they do seem to have made sure to include all City Center productions that were actually nominated for Tonys. I'd try to go into more detail about the inconsistencies inherent in ibdb's City Center listings, but it would take me more work to try to summarize it than I feel like doing right now.

Suffice it to say that there is no reason I can see for a whole bunch of City Center productions not to be listed there.

thank you very much and yes about "tony eligible". This is from the IBDB City Center listing:

"The former Mecca Temple had a brief tenure as a legit venue, but it is not technically a Broadway theatre. The only City Center shows that are included in IBDB were Tony-eligible shows."

I have a friend who was in "King and I" there, but I never saw her name or the show. And I hear about shows at city center and can never find a listing for it. I will check out ovrtur. com though.

at least it will be fun.

Thanks, comedywest, for the quote from ibdb. Perhaps I have read that before and had forgotten because I've certainly read the claim that the only City Center shows on ibdb were those that were Tony-eligible. That is incorrect, as should be clear by simply scrolling down the list of City Center productions listed there, and I have questions beyond that. Perhaps one day I will write about this, but today is not that day.
