"Follies" (1971), with a book by James Goldman, opened on April 4, 1971 at the Winter Garden Theatre and ran for 522 performances after 12 previews. The plot centers on a reunion, in a crumbling Broadway theatre scheduled for demolition, of performers in "Weismann's" "Follies" (a musical revue, based on the "Ziegfeld Follies", which played in that theatre between the world wars). The production, one of the most lavish of its time, also featured choreography and co-direction by Michael Bennett"," who went on to create "A Chorus Line" (1975). The show enjoyed two revivals on Broadway in 2001 and 2011.
