Follies (Revival 2001)

Matthew Warchus’s elegant, newly imagined 2001 Broadway revival of 'Follies' brought a slightly darker, more grounded, and textually rich perspective to the Belasco Theatre under the auspices of the Roundabout Theatre Company. While preserving the iconic Stephen Sondheim score, the production emphasized the authentic grit and psychological decay of the crumbling Broadway theater arena. The star-studded revival achieved immense cultural profile due to its brilliant casting, uniting stage icons Blythe Danner as Phyllis and Judith Ivey as Sally with Treat Williams as Buddy and Gregory Harrison as Benjamin.
