Nearly four decades after its pre-Broadway tryout at the Colonial Theatre, the Lyric Stage production of 'Follies' is an homage to the Stephen Sondheim musical, with magnificent costumes, evocative set, rich orchestrations, and an all-star cast.

Storylines as thin as the paper they are written on leave the casts of Boston's Adrift in Macao, Antoine Feval and Spamalot working hard to stay afloat.

The time is 1990 and the place is New York City. The story has been told many times before, but not quite like this. A struggling artist strives to follow his dream and fulfill his promise to write the great American musical with a self-imposed deadline of age 30. Talk about your biological clocks!
