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 my first ever Dame Edna performance and I totally loved every minute! The sarcasm, whit, and larger than life attitude captivates the audience and draws it in for a wonderful experience. I would urge caution when purchasing tickets: try to avoid sitting anywhere near the stage or you'll surly run the risk becoming part of the show.

I would recommend this performance to anyone that enjoys a dry and very sarcastic sense of humor.

I don't understand Dame Edna's popularity, and even less so after seeing this show.

It was so sad and boring that we left in the middle of the performance.
Extremely disappointing.

Perhaps Dame Edna was funny and clever one day, but now its just a washed out, tethering on a line version.
When a comedian resorts to getting the laughs by picking on the audience and continuing that joke over and over and over again - it is very pathetic.

Description

<p>A message from Dame Edna:  “In this show you will see me up close and personal, Possums,  perhaps for the last time! Close enough to see my beauty and personal enough to  feel my love, and even, in some cases, my reluctant disapproval. I’m sharing  and caring with those who need it the most — YOU, my adoring audiences.”</p>
