FOLLIESBook by James GoldmanMusic and Lyrics by Stephen SondheimDirected by Bill EnglishMusic Direction by Dave DobruskyChoreography by Nicole HelferPLAY DETAILSIts 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann is hosting a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, about to be demolished to make room for a parking lot. The artists gather for one last time, reminiscing about the past and contemplating their future, before the theater dims its lights for good. This legendary masterpiece creates a half dozen great roles for middle-aged women, whose fabulous talents have outlasted the industrys interest in them. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart wrenching and epic in scope, 'Follies' uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivet.
