Winner Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival 2018
Set in New York in 1971, Follies creates a cinematic, hallucinatory blend of past and present, with the help of musical pastiche and a story that follows the disintegration of the promise of America between the wars
On the eve of its destruction, the once glamorous Weismann Theatre is filled with the ghosts of its past
Tomorrow the iconic building will be demolished
But tonight, thirty years after their final performance, the Follies girls gathered onstage to have a few drinks
Sing a few songs
And lie about themselves
REVIEWS
"Uniquely powerful and evanescent" ~ Los Angeles Times
" ... a landmark musical ... a work of art" ~ New York Times
"A stunning musical ... a pastiche so brilliant as to be breathtaking" ~ New York Daily News
'A grand and lilting pastiche of legendary musical styles... the songs are cunning, melodic motifs laced with provocative lyrics that dutifully define each character with clarity and purpose... merges past and present with resonating counterpoint' ~ Variety
