Broadway Review - FOLLIES

The cast of the recently transferred Kennedy Center production of Stephen Sondheim's and James Goldman's Follies has more combined years of theatre experience than the rest of the Broadway show casts combined.  This cast is enthralling.  

Under the smart direction of Eric Schaeffer, this production beautifully evokes the by-gone era of the follies and the period between the two World Wars.  It pays homage to such song-writers as Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, George Gershwin and many more.
