Follies Tickets
Follies tickets return to Broadway this summer for the revival! The Stephen Sondheim musical makes a valiant return to the big stage. Though reviews and thoughts on its return remain mixed there are a lot of buzz for this legendary stage show's return. The story of a reunion in a crumbling Broadway theatre with a book by James Goldman will be making its third appearance this summer along the Great White Way. The OriginalFollies tickets first went on sale on April 4, 1971 at the Winter Garden Theatre when the musical premiered. The production was under the direction of Harold Prince and Michael Bennett, with choreography by Bennett. Follies closed after 522 performances citing "financial failure" and reporting a loss of $792,000. Though the production was unable to re coop costs, it found success with 11 Tony Nominations and winning seven. The production's musical score would go onto produce many Broadway standards, including "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here," "Too Many Mornings," "Could I Leave You?" and "Losing My Mind". The production had its pre-Broadway tryout at the Colonial Theatre, Boston, from February 20 through March 20, 1971. The StoryFollies include music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Goldman. The story centers around two couples who hold a reunion at a crumbling Broadway Theatre. The performers of the musical revue "Weismann's Follies," decide to get together before the theatre's demolition. The show they were part of was a long-running act between the World Wars. Sally Durant Plummer and Phyllis Rogers Stone were two showgirls in the act who are now married (unhappily) to Buddy and Benjamin. The couples spend their time at the reunion reliving and longing for their past hay-days. Follies would go onto play many different theater's after it Broadway run. The show moved to Los Angeles in 1972 at the Shubert Theatre. In 1987 Follies, tickets sold for the 1987 West End debut and also play in many U.S regional theater's.
