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

This was a really good event. The only thing I didn't care for was cigar and cigarette's being lit up on stage. The odor went through the air system and my eyes started burning and itching. I wish I would of had warning about the smoke. Other wise, it was a great performance.Written on Jun 08 2009

My seats were fine, which is the best part of being a member of Goldstar, there is usually not a problem with the seating. But I must admit that the way that the event was described was not exactly what I ended up seeing. Both my friend and I, left feeling a bit disappointed with the event, not the quality-because the Ballet Hispanico itself is a quality act but the more disappointed perhaps in the description of the night of dance that awaited us. In all the events, I have attended through Goldstar, this is my first time feeling that way, and I can honestly say that I don't think it had anything to do with them but most likely with the company itself, promoting the evening incorrectly. Let's work on the PR people. Otherwise, some outstanding dancers with great Cuban music, Argentine Tango, and the opening number really sets the mood.Written on Jun 26 2009

Loved it! I really do enjoy the ballet however, I'm usually one of those people that snoozes through atleast one of the acts. Not the case with this, the choreography was incredible and the dancers we amazing. I felt invigorated when I left the theater and that is very seldom the case.Written on Jun 15 2009
