Michaelmas Week 2
New York, 1971. There’s a party on the stage of the Weismann Theatre. Tomorrow the iconic building will be demolished. Thirty years after their final performance, the Follies girls gather to have a few drinks, sing a few songs and lie about themselves. Featuring the classic songs "Broadway Baby," "Losing My Mind" and "I'm Still Here."
Stephen Sondheim and James Goldman's legendary musical re-opens the Robinson Brickhouse Theatre ahead of the college's 50th anniversary celebrations. With a large cast, 30-piece orchestra and stunning design, this will mark the first Cambridge production of the musical masterpiece since 2008.
★★★★.5 - Varsity: "The Brickhouse has returned, rising from the ruins of the Weissmann Theatre, and brings with it the promise of both the musical glamour and the honesty of the intimate drama. It was (as Sally says) a lovely party; I’m so glad I came. I urge you all to accept the invitation too."
Cambridge Critique: "a production of considerable accomplishment. And it was especially pleasing to see the refurbished Brickhouse Theatre once again welcoming audiences. Cambridge has gained a fine theatrical space. Judging by the talent on display here, it will have no shortage of performers eager to fill it."
