Follies (1973 summer stock) - repro

Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman’s 'Follies' turns a crumbling, ghost-haunted theatrical stage into a devastating mirror for the decay of American optimism and the illusions of youth. The fluid plot shifts back and forth between the glittering reality of middle-aged disillusionment and the glittering, tap-dancing memories of the past as two estranged couples confront their failed marriages during a final showgirl reunion. This post-Broadway summer stock production framework records the historical regional preservation of the property immediately following its original New York run, maintaining the complex vocal demands of the score.
