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

FABULOUS! The cast is amazing, I could hear every word they sang. EVERYONE in the show performed brilliantly. I didn't know what to expect and I was "WOW"ed. Very creative set and staging. Highly recommended.Written on Nov 29 2010

This is a different musical, especially because of the subject matter. Yet, it deals with it in a great way, including a lot of humor. I loved the music, the acting, and the beautiful and smart set.Written on Nov 26 2010

The cast was amazing, and the musical itself is very well written. The songs are great - left singing several of them. I'm not sure why some reviewers complained about the lead actress's voice - she was great the night I was there. Our seats in the front mezzanine were to the side, but we had no sight issues at all. I can see why this show won the Pulitzer and so many Tonys. See it if you can possibly fit it into a busy holiday schedule.Written on Nov 29 2010
