Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw, with music direction by Eric Stern, the concert was previously announced to play five performances, from February 8th – 11th, at New York City Center, 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. 

The cast of Follies, as of November 29, 2006, includes Lucine Amara, Christine Baranski, Philip Bosco, Leena Chopra, Victoria Clark, Yvonne Constant, Diane J. Findlay, Robert Fitch, Victor Garber, Mimi Hines, Michael McGrath, Donna Murphy, Anne Rogers, Arthur Rubin, Dorothy Stanley, Gerry Vichi and Joanne Worley.  Garber stars as Ben Stone, McGrath as Buddy Plummer, Murphy as Phyllis Rogers Stone and Clark as Sally Durant Plummer.

Follies, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Goldman, opened on Broadway on April 4, 1971, winning eight Tony Awards, including one for Outstanding Score, which includes "Broadway Baby," "Losing My Mind" and "I'm Still Here."  

Follies takes place in the present and the past simultaneously.  On the eve of its destruction, the once-glorious Weissman Theatre is filled with the ghosts of its past, as veteran showgirls from the Weismann's Follies, a musical revue, (based on the Ziegfeld Follies) reunite to rekindle the aura of the glamorous old days and relive lost memories of promise and splendor. As the evening goes on, the former showgirls reminisce about their past experiences, both good and bad. 

Tickets for the 2007 Encores! Season are available at the New York City Center Box Office (West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues), through CityTix® at 212-581-1212, or online at www.nycitycenter.org.  Tickets for the Orchestra, Grand Tier are $95; Mid-Mezzanine tickets are $90; tickets for the Rear Mezzanine and Front Gallery are $50; tickets for the Rear Gallery are $25.
