Film of the legendary 1985 concert performance presented by the New York Philharmonic of Stephen Sondheim's classic musical at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. The plot of the musical centers around a reunion of showgirls who appeared in an annual Follies extravaganza when it was staged between the wars. Sally and Phyllis are two of these former showgirls, now middle-aged. Sally is married to Buddy, and Phyllis is married to Ben. Sally is unhappy with Buddy, and still is madly in love with Ben after a brief affair they had when they were younger. Phyllis is going to divorce Ben, so all seems right. But the reason Phyllis is divorcing Ben is because he is incapable of showing real, genuine love. Will Sally truly be happy if she leaves Buddy and marries Ben? Okay, the plot isn't much, but the songs are wonderful. The show features frequent "pastiche numbers" in which other former showgirls perform numbers in the style of the period in which this Follies was staged. These numbers, juxtaposed against the moving "book songs," make for a truly brilliant score.

明明没老，却看着这些东西独自感叹；不过全然说不出桑爷爷究竟是有怎样的魔力，就一部纪录片居然差点看哭

不是很完整的音乐会，阵容很豪华，彩排部分也蛮好玩的。Mandy Patinkin表演的那段很精彩。

好多人都年轻得认不出来.... Paul Gemignani现在完全长成了另外一个样子 -_- George Hearn大概主要是头发和胡子的关系, 感觉没有演Todd或者现在好看....
