Kennedy Center Presents 'Theater Look-In' for FOLLIES, 5/24

A new Kennedy Center production of one of James Goldman and Stephen Sondheim's greatest works, FOLLIES is perhaps the finest song and dance production created about the world of song and dance. When former members of the "Weismann's Follies" reunite on the eve of their theater's demolition, two couples remember their glorious past and face the harsher realities of the present. In the crumbling glamour of the theater, The Shadows of their younger selves remind them of the complicated steps they've danced--both on the stage and throughout their lives.

On Tuesday, May 24th, the Kennedy Center will offer a look-in. Join company members from FOLLIES for an insider's look, complete with lively discussion and the opportunity to ask questions of the artists. The event will take place from 5 pm to 6 pm, and costs $12. Tickets are available on the Kennedy Center website.

The cast will feature Danny Burstein as Buddy Plummer and Ron Raines as Benjamin Stone, joining previously announced Terrence Currier as Theodore Whitman, Rosalind Elias as Heidi Schiller, Florence Laceyas Sandra Crane, Linda Lavin as Hattie Walker, Jan Maxwell as Phyllis Rogers Stone, Elaine Paige as Carlotta Campion, Bernadette Peters as Sally Durant Plummer, Régine as Solange LaFitte, David Sabin as Dimitri Weismann, Susan Watson as Emily Whitman, and Terri White as Stella Deems.

FOLLIES will play at the Kennedy Center May 7 through June 19.
