NYC Bus Trip

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

Join us on Saturday, November 12th, 2011 when we head up to New York City to see the limited Broadway engagement of The Kennedy Center production of FOLLIES, by JAMES GOLDMAN & STEPHEN SONDHEIM.

With a 28 piece orchestra, FOLLIES features a cast of 41 and stars two-time Tony Award-winner Bernadette Peters as Sally Durant Plummer, four-time Tony Award nominee Jan Maxwell as Phyllis Rogers Stone, two-time Tony Award nominee Danny Burstein as Buddy Plummer, three-time Emmy Award nominee Ron Raines as Benjamin Stone and Olivier Award-winner Elaine Paige as Carlotta Campion.

When former members of the "Weismann Follies" reunite on the eve of their theater's demolition, two couples remember their past and face the harsher realities of the present. Reminiscing of their younger selves and the years gone by, the crumbling theater brings back memories for both couples of good times and bad. FOLLIES echoes the songs, exuberance and romance of the vaudeville days between the two World Wars. The score features some of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs, including "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here," "Too Many Mornings," "Could I Leave You?" and "Losing My Mind."

Our very own DTC Director of Education Charles Conway had the opportunity to see FOLLIES last month and was blown away by the scope of this musical, stating, "They truly don't make musicals like this anymore. This is an opportunity not to be missed." He was pleased to see one of our very own DTC alumni, Jayne Houdyshell, in the role of Hattie Walker. Our subscribers will remember Jayne from her role as Miss Prism in 1995's DTC production of THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST.
