For our second offering in the American Masterworks Series, we'll present a concert hall staging of Follies.

Set in a theatre scheduled for demolition during a reunion of the fictional musical revue, the Weismann Follies, Follies musical captures the memories and heartaches of a bygone era. Much of the drama centers around the relationships of two married couples attending the reunion, both of whom are wondering about the choices they've made and the courses their lives have taken. The other long-retired showgirls also relive their careers through songs from the old Follies, sometimes accompanied by the ghosts of their former selves.

Our concert version will include all of the popular songs, including Broadway Baby, Losing My Mind and Could I Leave You?
