Follies is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by
James Goldman.

The story concerns a reunion in a crumbling Broadway theatre, scheduled for
demolition, of the past performers of the Weismanns Follies, a musical revue
(based on the Ziegfeld Follies), that played in that theatre between the World
Wars. It focuses on two couples, Buddy and Sally Durant Plummer and Benjamin and
Phyllis Rogers Stone, who are attending the reunion. Sally and Phyllis were
showgirls in the Follies. Both couples are deeply unhappy with their marriages.
Buddy, a traveling salesman, is having an affair with a girl on the road; Sally
is still as much in love with Ben as she was years ago; and Ben is so
self-absorbed that Phyllis feels emotionally abandoned. Several of the former
showgirls perform their old numbers, sometimes accompanied by the ghosts of
their former selves. The musical numbers in the show have been interpreted as
pastiches of the styles of the leading Broadway composers of the 1920s and 30s,
and sometimes as parodies of specific songs.

The Broadway production opened on April 4, 1971, directed by Harold Prince and
Michael Bennett, and with choreography by Bennett. The musical was nominated for
eleven Tony Awards and won seven. The original production, the second-most
costly performed on Broadway to that date[1], ran for over 500 performances but
ultimately lost its entire investment. The musical has had a number of major
revivals, and several of its songs have become standards, including Broadway
Baby, Im Still Here, Too Many Mornings, Could I Leave You?, and Losing My Mind.
