Tickets for the Kennedy Center production of FOLLIES will go on sale to the general public at Noon on Sun., Jan. 30.

The cast will feature Danny Burstein as Buddy Plummer and Ron Raines as Benjamin Stone, joining previously announced Terrence Currier as Theodore Whitman, Rosalind Elias as Heidi Schiller, Florence Laceyas Sandra Crane, Linda Lavin as Hattie Walker, Jan Maxwell as Phyllis Rogers Stone, Elaine Paige as Carlotta Campion, Bernadette Peters as Sally Durant Plummer, Régine as Solange LaFitte, David Sabin as Dimitri Weismann, Susan Watson as Emily Whitman, and Terri White as Stella Deems.

A new Kennedy Center production of one of James Goldman and Stephen Sondheim's greatest works, FOLLIES is perhaps the finest song and dance production created about the world of song and dance. 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. In the crumbling glamour of the theater, The Shadows of their younger selves remind them of the complicated steps they've danced--both on the stage and throughout their lives.

Winner of seven Tony Awards, FOLLIES echoes the songs, exuberance, and romance of the lively vaudevillian days between the two World Wars. With such well-known songs like "Broadway Baby," "I'm Still Here," "Too Many Mornings," "Could I Leave You?" and "Losing My Mind," Follies gives words to the ghosts that haunt the stages of Broadway's great old theaters.

FOLLIES will play at the Kennedy Center May 7 through June 19.
