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

Superbly trained, exuberant dancers with wonderful choreography, arguably one of the best modern dance companies in the world. I am originally from Chicago and have enjoyed Hubbard Street for some time, especially at their own theater within Millenium Park. The Ahmanson was the best L.A. venue for this troupe, but the production lost some of its intimacy by performing in such a large space.Written on Apr 13 2010

I promise that from now on I will read reviews and preview the music for dance concerts. The dancers were extremely talented but the first two dances were just too avant gard for my family and the music was not something we could enjoy. My own error for not checking it out more thoroughly!Written on Apr 12 2010

It was nice to see Hubbard Street back performing in LA; it's been too long since their last appearance here.Written on Apr 12 2010
