Show Info | Winner of 7 Tony Awards in 1972, "Follies" is a multi layered story that has been called Sondheim's greatest masterpiece. Filled with tart sentiment, "Follies" takes place on the eve of the destruction of the historic but now derelict Weissman Theater, as former Follies girls gather one last time on the stage. Two couples with romantically entangled pasts reunite, as well as former showgirls singing their old numbers and confronting past regrets and misplaced hopes. |
