When Bernadette made her entrance in "Night Music"--I couldn't even contain myself; I, like the rest of the audience, was cheering and clapping for probably a full minute. I just couldn't help it.

Something tells me I'll have a similar reaction when she makes her "Follies" entrance next month.

At any rate, the set design here is haunting but beautiful--a terrific match for this show.

"Follies" is an incredible show with wonderful music, sets, costumes and high psychological drama. Northing can replicate the original because it cost a fortune but this production looks excellent and highly engrossing. "Follies" is deservedly a Broadway legend and unforgettable.

Is this the full show?

Thank you for posting this. I went to go see the final performance on Broadway and the train from Wilmington broke down causing me to miss the first 30 minutes of the show.

The lighting/set is wonderful

@pythagorasadie Isn't vulgarity, tawdriness and datedness the essence of Follies? I think the lyric sung in this number sums it up:

Nature never fashioned a flower so fair, no rose can compare, nothing respectable half so delectable." Pretty tawdry and beautiful.

I didn't care for this show, I found it dated, tawdry and camp. The audience rarely clapped the performers they hadn't heard of which I found terribly vulgar, we left during Ms Paige's number and went to eat at Millesime.

Thank you for posting this. I saw the show in its 2nd week on Broadway.... a fabulous production with a stellar cast! Plus the lush orchestrations played flawlessly by the 28-piece orchestra makes this show one of the best currently on Broadway.

The music here is just beautiful and mesmorizing :D Even better when you see the show in person.
