Video: Preview the Broadway Revival of Sondheim’s ‘Follies’ starring Bernadette Peters and Jan Maxwell

Here’s a full 9 minute preview of the Broadway revival of James Goldman and Stephen Sondheim‘s musical Follies.

Directed by Eric Schaeffer and staring Bernadette Peters, Jan Maxwell, Danny Burstein, Ron Raines, Elaine Paige and Terri White, the show is about what happens when former members of the “Weismann’s Follies” reunite on the eve of their theater’s demolition. Two couples remember their glorious past and face the harsher realities of the present as the shadows of their younger selves remind them of the complicated steps they’ve danced—both on the stage and throughout their lives.

I was majorly bummed that I didn’t catch this while I was back in Maryland and it was still playing at the Kennedy Center. I tried hard to get tickets but they were all sold out – not even 1 ticket was available. Looks like I’ll have to check it out when I get back to NYC in the fall.

The show is playing at the Marquis Theatre (46th St. between Broadway and 8th) for a limited engagement.

Here’s another short, behind the scenes preview that was made before the show’s opening.
