Musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman

In German with English surtitles

Three decades after Sally and Phyllis were engaged as showgirls in the "Follies" revue, they return to their former workplace for a grand gala. Here, they also met their two husbands, Buddy and Benjamin, who accompany them to the reunion with former colleagues and companions. The surprisingly youthful guests indulge in memories: not only of stage successes but also of their respective life paths. However, the party also serves as a backdrop for everyday relationship problems: the two couples confront long-suppressed truths and ultimately must set the course for their future.

Follies, premiered in 1971 in New York, marks the beginning of Stephen Sondheim's twenty-year main creative period. The work deals with aging and the reflection on one's own naive youth.
