WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Check out TheaterMania Magazine & listen to a track from the hotly anticipated cast recording!
When former members of the "Weismann Follies" reunite on the eve of their theater's demolition, two couples remember their past and face the harsher realities of the present. Reminiscing of their younger selves and the years gone by, the crumbling theater brings back memories for both couples of good times and bad. Follies echoes the songs, exuberance and romance of the vaudeville days between the two World Wars. The score features some of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs, including "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here," "Too Many Mornings," "Could I Leave You?" and "Losing My Mind."
With a 28 piece orchestra, Follies will feature a cast of 41 and star two-time Tony Award-winner Bernadette Peters as Sally Durant Plummer, four-time Tony Award nominee Jan Maxwell as Phyllis Rogers Stone, two-time Tony Award nominee Danny Burstein as Buddy Plummer, three-time Emmy Award nominee Ron Raines as Benjamin Stone and Olivier Award-winner Elaine Paige as Carlotta Campion.
Student Rush
A limited number of Student Rush tickets will be sold at the Box Office on the day of the performance to students with a valid student ID for $35.00 (+ $2.00 fee). Two tickets per ID. Cash only.

Tops
Hmmm... I can imagine where the negatives are coming from--different night, different show, perhaps? We had seen this at the Kennedy Center and enjoyed it?but were completely knocked-out by the Bway revisions. Out of the five productions of this show I have seen, this one is tops. Left me breathless and totally blown away?just like the reviews said, which is so unusual. Bernadette has gone so deep into her performance?an impressive journey from the time in DC: its a real stinger now. Hooray for Jan Maxwell--wowee!! Burstein is a show in himself and Raines left me with goosebumps. Actually, everyone has grown with their roles and the newcomers picked up the slack where some of the originals dallied. The direction has clarified so many things this time around. And that annoying way most versions shove the first act production numbers together without a proper segue between them has miraculously disappeared. If I had the bucks, Id go again. And maybe again. Loved it!

I saw the show at the Kennedy Center. It was great and the performances although Ms. Peters was not up to par were excellent. Great music. Great staging - and we love Eric Schaeffer in Arlington, VA. I understand there have been some changes - the controversial red dress of Sally, for example - but I cant imagine anyone panning this show - its a classic and this production does it justice. No, it cant be the original and all its glory - but it is glorious in its own right. So go see it and keep the house filled so it will be recent in the Tony nominators minds!
