Loveland - Follies - 1971

Loveland from the original production of Follies. Footage dubbed with live audio from a different performance. This is from the same set of footage as the Alexis Smith and Mirror Number clips posted by someone else. Fun because it includes transition into the number.

God bless whoever shot this footage. I saw the Original Broadway production. It has haunted me for 38 years and counting. It is quite simply the most memorable Broadway show I have ever seen. I dreamed of finding ANY footage. WOW!

You just made my heart skip about 30 beats or so! I cannot believe this footage even exists!! I feel like a kid on Christmas Day! Thank you! Thank you for posting this! Boris Aronson's set is just incredible especially at the beginning. Actually the rather low quality of sound and image make this piece even "ghostlier" than imagined...wow...just WOW!!!

I've heard so much about the theatre's greatest scene change, that being FOLLIES' change into the LOVELAND section of the show. Many thanks for giving this Sondheim fan a glimpse into this brilliant moment in live theater history.
