	Sondheim.com - Putting it together since 1994.
		This musical, with a book by James Goldman, takes place at a reunion of the Weisman (pseudo-Ziegfeld) Follies girls, gathering at their old theatre on the eve of its leveling to become a parking lot.
		The entire show is interspersed with ex-showgirls reprising their old big numbers, and the atmosphere is heightened by the presence of the ghosts of everyone's former selves, who sometimes sing along, sometimes reenact important events, and sometimes even interact with the present.
		The final piece (in the original script) is "Live Laugh, Love" where Ben attempts to present the suave, man-about-town character, but is unable to continue the charade and breaks down as the chorus continues, highlighting the dichotomy between forms.

		The grid of red follies create reference points and are non-contextual in their form and color, in favor of an intertextuality that leads to a dissolving of a priori meanings.
		Although the follies are physically deconstructed, their intended lack of meaning relates his use of the philosophy to its essence, not stylistic applications.
		The assertion that the follies lack any historical precedent is important to the idea of "non-meaning" and valid in terms of classical styles and their parts (columns, arches and so forth).

	The Brush Creek Follies - Favorites
		Despite being the first group to record with Hank Williams, the Willis Brothers are probably best known for their 30-year association with the Grand Ole Opry, and the truck-driving songs they recorded for the Starday label, including their top-10 country hit, "Give Me 40 Acres," from 1964.

		The "Brush Creek Follies" was no exception, and, with the departure of Kit and Kay in the early '40s, KMBC quickly signed two new cowgirls to fill their boots.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Follies
		With its stark exploration of the roads not taken and the cruel march of time, "Follies" inevitably is a show that resonates with deeper, sharper pangs as you get older.
		The ethereal mood that underlies the reunion of former Weismann's Follies girls at the soon-to-be-demolished theater where they once performed is communicated immediately in the eerie strains of Sondheim's overture, as flashbulbs pop and sequin-clad showgirls brandishing ostrich-feather fans drift in dreamy slow-motion across the rear of the stage.
		The most frequently performed "Follies" song and an anthem for showbiz survivors is "I'm Still Here." Christine Baranski is too young to fit the mold of a seen-it-all star deep into her decline and doesn't invite the same free associations as former Carlottas like Yvonne De Carlo or Dolores Gray.

		“Follies” is followed by the regular season at the UCLA Freud Playhouse: “Anything Goes,” September 17 to 29 (press opening September 18), “On the Twentieth Century” January 21 to February 2 (press opening January 22), and finishing with “Kismet,” March 18 to 30, 2003 (press opening March 19).
		At the time of “Follies” premiere, the business of musical theatre was at its lowest ebb since perhaps the 1934-1935 season, the height of the depression, in which “Anything Goes” was the only hit.
		Follies will make it clear to you why such a strange kind of theatre was such an important part of the American consciousness for so long … there is no getting around the fact that a large part of the chilling fascination of Follies is that its creators are in essence presenting their own funeral.”

	GOOD GOLLY, IT'S A HIT 'FOLLIES' By MICHAEL RIEDEL - Theater - New York Post Online Edition
		Both she and Sondheim are very pleased with this "Follies" - no small thing if a Broadway move is to happen.
		If they pass, "The Producers" is likely to close at the St. James in the spring, and "Follies" could slip in for a limited run before "Young Frankenstein" arrives in the fall.
		"Follies" would also be an expensive proposition, and turning a profit on a limited run would be extremely difficult.

	Titicut Follies
		Titicut Follies became at once a hot topic for newspapers, a useful document for rights activists (as well as for students of documentary), and a deeply sensitive issue for the families personally involved.
		Discussions of Titicut Follies used to be more about the patients – should their rights of privacy be protected, did Wiseman violate those rights, how the issue of consent is complicated when competency can't be established, and so on.
		In Titicut Follies, patients are stripped and humiliated by boorish guards operating under questionable government policy, and Wiseman's camera keeps rolling.

		The Ziegfeld Follies were legendary stage shows that consisted entirely of musical numbers and comedy routines performed by some of the greatest stars of the day.
		In spite of its array of stars and remarkable visuals, ZIEGFELD FOLLIES was not among MGM's box-office knockouts of the 1940s and it was rarely seen after its original theatrical release.
		So sumptuous was the process (and so superior to the Eastman process which superceded it for economic reasons) its look needs to be remembered and constantly compared in order that the advent of HD not be marred by trying to emulate the look of an inferior process (35mm Eastmancolor).
