Stephen Sondheim’s legendary musical, captured live from the National Theatre in London, returns to cinemas.

★★★‘Unmissable. Razzmatazz, poignancy and cracking songs.’ Daily Telegraph

★★★★★‘Tremendous. This bittersweet musical is still a sensation’ Observer

New York, 1971. There’s a part on the stage of the Weismann Theatre. Tomorrow the iconic building will bedemolished. Thirty years after their final performance, the Follies girls gather to have a few drinks, sing a few songs and lie about themselves.

Tracie Bennett, Janie Dee and Imelda Staunton play the magnificent Follies in this dazzling new production.

Featuring a cast of 37 and an orchestra of 21, it’s directed by Dominic Cooke (The Comedy of Errors).

Winner of Academy, Tony, Grammy and Olivier awards, Sondheim’s previous work includes A Little Night Music, Sweeney Todd and Sunday in the Park with George.
