568: Follies in Focus

from MusicalTalk - The UK's Independent Musical Theatre Podcast · host MusicalTalk

As the Royal National Theatre announces that its star-studded and star-attracting production of Sondheim's Follies will be returning to London in 2019, Thos sits down with composer and Sondheim expert, Colm Molloy, to dissect and discuss the show. Is it a concept musical? Is it really a revue? Does it even have a narrative? Is it all spectacle and no heart like the original Follies shows it lovingly pastiches? All these questions and more are tackled in this in-depth, forensic analysis! It's certainly a classic - ah, but underneath?
