“A huge and impressive cast, even by Vegas standards”
Debbie Hall of BroadwayWorld.com
With a mammoth cast and crew of almost 90 talented professionals, FOLLIES includes a mind-blowing collection of 45 incredible performers, a dozen legendary Las Vegas Showgirls, a 30-piece live orchestra and many of Las Vegas’ - and the country’s - best singers, dancers, and performers.
Featuring the Remarkable JOI Jazz Orchestra with Strings
Musical Director, Dave Loeb
THE PLOT:
FOLLIES, which features one of Stephen Sondheim’s most brilliant scores, tells the story of a famous impresario – (i.e., Florenz Ziegfeld, or in Las Vegas, Donn Arden or Jerry Jackson) who holds one last reunion of the casts of his annual FOLLIES productions before the theatre bearing his name is to be torn down to make room for a parking garage.
On the stage of the old theatre, the performers gather for one more look back at their glory days, the grand music, lavish spectacles, the baggy pants comedians and beautiful showgirls. The theatre is also haunted by ghosts of the past who reappear to watch as these past FOLLIES performers bring the theatre to life again – even if just for this one last night.
FOLLIES brings back the glory days of an earlier time through a cornucopia of thrilling music - including classics such as “I’m Still Here,” “Broadway Baby,” “Losing My Mind,” and “Beautiful Girls”, dazzling costumes and electrifying performances.
