SONDHEIM "FOLLIES" AT ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL

The legendary Broadway musical Follies will open at the Royal Festival Hall on 6th Aug 02, following previews from 3rd Aug 02, for a limited 4 week run to 31st Aug 02.

This brand new production, with music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Goldman, is directed by Paul Kerryson, designed by Paul Farnsworth with musical direction by Julian Kelly.

The show, which was originally produced on Broadway by Harold Prince in 1971, features the classic songs 'Broadway Baby', 'I'm Still Here' and 'Losing My Mind'. The musical transports the audience to the once lavish, but now crumbling , Weissman Theatre. Memories from its glorious past return, and glamorous showgirls from decades ago reunite and remember, just one last time.

This will be only the second major London production of Follies , and the first for 15 years.

It is produced by Royal Festival Hall and Raymond Gubbay
