The Kennedy Center’s lavish and landmark new staging of James Goldman and Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award®-winning musical FOLLIES comes to Broadway’s Marquis Theatre (46th St. between Broadway and 8th) for an historic limited engagement, complete with its 28-piece orchestra and a cast of 41—led by such Broadway babies as two-time Tony® winner Bernadette Peters, four-time Tony® nominee Jan Maxwell, two-time Tony® nominee Danny Burstein, three-time Emmy nominee Ron Raines and Olivier Award winner Elaine Paige.
And here's the best news of all! The folks over at Follies have asked me to sponsor a contest! There will be TWO lucky winners of a pair of tickets each to a performance of Follies at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway!
(Don't want to play, but still want to see the show? Scroll down this blog for a special link to a discount for Follies!)
- Starting TODAY (and every day this week through Friday) there will be a trivia question at the end of my blog for the day. Each multiple-choice question will be about the stars of this revival of Follies.
