The Weismann Follies showgirls reunite for one last time before the demolition of their old theatre. By reliving their old songs and dances, they must come to terms with their past so that they can continue to live fully in their present. Join us for the concert version of Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman’s exploration of the twilight of the American follies.
Follies is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Goldman.
The original Broadway production opened on April 4, 1971, and won seven Tony Awards, including Best Original Score. To conclude Wheaton Drama’s 2024-2025 season, Follies is being performed in a concert version with minimal set, costumes, staging, and choreography.
A true theatrical event, this legendary masterpiece is considered by many to be the greatest musical ever created. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart wrenching and epic in scope, Follies by musical theatre legend, Stephen Sondheim, and author, James Goldman, uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years.
