Although it's been 40 years since its debut, Follies, as performed now on Broadway, is truly a great play. While only a few of the songs have achieved hit status, most of the songs are truly great. They not only fit the show but they do say some things about life.
The cast was truly fantastic. I have never seen a supporting cast so perfectly matched to their roles. Yes, Bernadette Peters is listed as the star billing, but, really, the entire cast are stars.
The only glitch to the show was where it was staged, the Marquis Theater, which happens to be in the Marriott Marquis. The theater, itself, was okay. Getting there once you were inside the hotel almost required a map. It would take another Follies to get me to go there again.
This is just one song from the show. I doubt that you've heard a better version of it.

Terrific! No-one can perform that song like Bernadette Peters. And who could write one better than Sondheim? I'm so glad you enjoyed the show.
