Sondheim's Follies: Tony-Winning Broadway Hit at the Ahmanson
- Full Price:
- $95.00 - $110.00
- Our Price:
- $47.50 - $55.00
The Kennedy Center's critically-acclaimed Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim's classic musical Follies, currently nominated for eight 2012 Tony Awards, comes to the Ahmanson Theatre, where it's receiving equally stellar reviews. It's the haunting story of two troubled couples who reunite at the decrepit theater where the ladies once performed, facing the ghosts of the past and the harsh reality of the present. Featuring a memorable score by Sondheim, including such enduring songs as "Broadway Baby," "Losing My Mind" and "I'm Still Here," the show is also a riveting look at the deterioration of the American dream -- a crack in the plaster of the gilded age of Broadway. Director Eric Schaeffer is joined by much of his original cast -- with 41 performers, it's one of the largest ever on this stage -- as well as a 28-piece orchestra. Tony Award-winner Victoria Clark joins the production, while reprising their roles from the New York show are 2012 Tony nominees Jan Maxwell, Danny Burstein and Ron Raines. Learn More

Great show! I've seen it during previews, and again after it opened, and many improvements have been made, and I'm sure there will be a few more changes once it reaches Broadway next spring, but the show is really strong as is. First act still a little long, but the songs and book were really great, and the performers were flawless. I am a big Megan Hilty fan ever since "Wicked" and she did not disappoint. Stephanie Block has one of the best 2nd act showstoppers I've seen in ages (Get out and stay out"), and Allison Janney brings perfect comic timing and a surprisingly strong voice to the role of Violet. I'm going back closing nite! Seats from Goldstar were excellent, as always!Written on Oct 08 2008
On a side note: Extremely rude theatergoers sitting in front of, and to the side of us us were talking, texting and EATING(!) throughout the show (hopefully they weren't Goldstar members!). I asked her to shut up (nicely), and she looked at me as if I were being rude! Doesn't everyone know basic theater manners? Stay home and watch a DVD if you can't refrain from making the world your personal chatroom!!

I enjoyed this production of 9 to 5, but it didn't wow me. The sets were cool and the music was fun. I found the opening sequence to be lacking in energy, which set the tone for a somewhat less than spectacular show. It felt like it was missing something that would make it really memorable. But it was a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.Written on Sep 15 2008

Description
Don't miss this new musical comedy based on the classic hit movie! 9 to 5: The Musical features a brand-new score by seven-time Grammy Award winner Dolly Parton that includes the blockbuster title song, plus a book by original screenwriter Patricia Resnick and direction by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (directing his first new musical since Wicked).
Emmy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Allison Janney stars as Violet Newstead, the super-efficient office manager who joins her fellow co-workers--frazzled divorcée Judy Bernly (Stephanie J. Block) and sexy secretary Doralee Rhodes (Megan Hilty in the role originated by Dolly Parton in the film)--to turn the tables on their “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot” of a boss, Franklin Hart Jr. (Tony Award nominee Marc Kudisch).
In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy --giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover and rise to the top of the company that once looked at them as second-class citizens. A girl can scheme can't she?
