After a sold-out run in 2017, Stephen Sondheim’s Follies returns to the National Theatre starring JOANNA RIDING in the lead role of Sally. Set in 1970s New York on the stage of an old Broadway theatre just before it’s demolished, the old singers and dancers who made up Weismann’s Follies gather for one last party…
“… Joanna Riding slips effortlessly into the role of Sally … initially perky and bright, the depth of her sadness gradually becomes apparent and her delivery of Losing My Mind is not merely heart-breaking, but heart-destroying; as her mascara bleeds down her cheeks, it undoes you completely.” Natasha Tripney, The Stage 5*****
“Riding … erupts with such toxic, pill-popping fury in Losing My Mind that it’s actually shocking – the cost of a life spent pointlessly loving someone else on sudden, uncompromising display.” Claire Allfree, The Telegraph 5*****
Follies runs at the National Theatre until 11th May. Book your tickets here
