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

    I enjoyed the ambiance.

    Dressy casual would be ok. Jeans and t-shirts would be too casual.

I had no idea what to expect from this show and had no idea that it was not a traditional play, but more like a musical revue. In the end, though, it was quite charming and entertaining. The singers had real charisma and very good voices.

It was enjoyable. I would not go again but it was nice. It is a musical so it is more enjoyable for an older crowd who can relate to the music.
