Are we Follies fans going to be forever hopeless like Sally?

Sally never gets her man, and we will likely never see FOLLIES win a major production Tony award. It has lost Best Musical, in addition to now losing Best Musical Revival twice.

LOL

Argh!!!! I'm gonna loose my mind. I'm shocked it lost Best Revival! And I was TeamMaxwell and TeamBurstein, but didn't think they were as much of a "lock" as Follies was for Best Revival!

I saw the entire cast pour their hearts out at the Ahmanson last night. But alas, though they didn't win a Tony for any of the acting categories or for best revival, I will always remember it as one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Congratulations Follies on finishing a wonderful run!

I'll keep an eye on what's happening in Leah Horowitz(Young Heidi) & Christian Delcroix's (Young Buddy) careers. They really impressed me, and I can't wait to see what they do next.

While this had a truly all-star cast, Follies was one of the biggest snoozers I have ever sat through. Unless you're a theatre person, Sondheim doesn't have much appeal. Look at all of his recent revivals...I don't think a single one could be considered a hit. They are huge out of the door when they open and plummet pretty quickly. I was so excited to see Follies when it came to Briadway. With the premise of the show and the amazing cast, I didn't think I could go wrong by getting a ticket. After about ten minutes though, I was bored out of my mind. It didn't deserve Best Revival (but I saw Porgy and Bess too, and it sure didn't either). At least they walked away with three critically acclaimed (albeit I don't understand why) productions.

Three strikes, you're out. But it to bed for about twenty five years and try again.

It completely floored me when I realized it in 1971. I spent the next 27 years seeking out fellow Follies fans, where ever I could. There were few of us and we were far between.

As a matter of fact, I've thought it terribly odd the past few years that so many people seemed to be loving it. Once it opened at the Kennedy Center, it seemed as if it had suddenly turned into a beloved old chestnut, like Show Boat or Oklahoma or My Fair Lady.

I wonder if maybe now, it will calm back down to being loved by just us special few.

I kinda liked it better that way.

I think that people go in thinking it'll be a sweet old chestnut and come out realizing it's not. Hence, a lot of disappointed tourists that went to the last revival.

Look at all of his recent revivals...I don't think a single one could be considered a hit.

NIGHT MUSIC was most certainly a financial hit.
