Since the announcement that the hit Kennedy Center-originated production of FOLLIES would be heading to LA after its Broadway closing, speculation has been running rampant about which cast members would transfer with the production. In a new interview with CBS2 New York, FOLLIES star Ron Raines tells host Dana Tyler that 'pretty much' everybody will be transferring to Los Angeles, noting that there's 'a lot of puzzle pieces.' Click below to play the full interview.

Casting for the Los Angeles engagement of Follies has not yet been announced, and while it is presumed that at least some of the cast will be heading west, one star who will not make the trip is Bernadette Peters, who plays Sally Durant. A spokesperson for Peters tells BroadwayWorld that the star has concert obligations she must fulfill next spring, which will prevent her from continuing with the production. Peters will, of course, finish out the Broadway run through January 22.

In honor of its 30th anniversary season, North Coast Rep will draw upon a title from its inaugural year to bring the classic to life once again on our stage. In James Goldman's classic play, The Lion in Winter, domestic turmoil rises to an art form. A quintessential drama of family strife and competing ambitions brings modern-day relevance to the intrigues of 12th Century England. Combining keen historical and psychological insight with delicious, mordant wit, the play has become an American classic.

Here's a sneak peek at the exclusive interactive online lyric sheet for Sondheim's classic 'I'm Still Here' that Broadway ad agency Serino/Coyne created to celebrate the release of the new FOLLIES Broadway cast album-and highlight one of the show's iconic songs.
