Follies

Follies

Chicago Shakespeare Theater
800 East Grand Avenue Chicago

Associate Artistic Director Gary Griffin continues a decade-long exploration of the Sondheim canon at CST with this valentine to a bygone era of the American musical theater, performed by an ensemble of 40 actors and musicians. On the eve of a crumbling theater's demolition, the legendary "Weismann Follies" company reunites to relive their moments in the spotlight. The production's Broadway premiere garnered seven Tony Awards, including Best Score, and gave birth to the classic standards "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here" and "Losing My Mind."
