Follies will feature Terrence Currier as Theodore Whitman, Rosalind Elias as Heidi Schiller, Florence Lacey as Sandra Crane, Linda Lavin as Hattie Walker, Jan Maxwell as Phyllis Rogers Stone, Elaine Paige as Carlotta Campion, Régine as Solange LaFitte, David Sabin as Dimitri Weismann, Susan Watson as Emily Whitman, and Terri White as Stella Deems joining previously announced Bernadette Peters as Sally Durant Plummer. The production has also been extended two weeks and will now run May 7 to June 19, 2011.

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.

Currently, tickets for Follies are only available through the purchase of a Theater subscription. If you are already a Theater subscriber and wish to add Follies to your series, please call the Subscription Office at (202) 416-8500, Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
