Don't think it would make any difference but I "liked" it and support the group anyway!

That's how I feel. Anything to fuel the rumors.

According to someone in the show, they're still being told it might happen.

Well they better hurry. My guess would be they'll shoot for closing night. They have to get this show filmed for once. It's a shame they never got the original. Don't make the same mistake.

Let's make sure they don't make the same mistake. I'm only half-serious in saying this, but let's petition the Widow Goldman to let them use the original book for filming.

Got it from 115 to 137 just by me posting this. Not too bad.

I guess I'm particularly naive, but are these archive recording or can they be accessed in other ways?

was this production filmed for Lincoln Center?

I am definitely hoping for a filming of FOLLIES!

If you press the "SHARE" button it simply posts it on your wall... but it might be more effective to copy and paste it onto your wall because then you can TAG your friends in the post so they're sure to see it.....

just a thought... we really need to make this viral.

Please let it be filmed to help dispel the rumors of how "perfectly perfect" it is.

Thanks for setting up the facebook page.

I just went to the link and "liked" it :)

Like it on Facebook all you want, but it's not going to be filmed if no one will front the money. Maybe use your energy working on that instead of expecting someone else to do the hard part.

Why do we have Company but no Follies? Get this filmed for heavens sake!

Why do we have Company but no Follies? Get this filmed for heavens sake!

A New York woman funded the filming of the 2006 Broadway revival of COMPANY. THAT is why that was filmed.

Again I have to repeat this but PBS does NOT film anything. They are publicly funded and do NOT have the means to 'film' anything, especially a Broadway show.

Others film these productions and negotiate with PBS, who in turn airs them as part of their Great Performances series. Also, PBS does NOT film any of the shows that are done at Lincoln Center -- the Lincoln Center does this themselves AND fully own the rights to them (not PBS), which is why they only air a few times and rarely are ever released on home video/DVD.

You want FOLLIES filmed? You fund the filming or start collecting funds to have this done. Once you collect enough to cover all the costs of filming this, plus the Actor's Equity fees, the actor's fee's, the musician's fees, the permits to film on rented property plus the fee's to allow production trucks parked for extended periods on public New York City streets, then I'm sure we'll see your film of the 2011 Broadway revival of FOLLIES.

Till then -- SHUT THE F**K UP and ENOUGH with your pointless petitions! Money makes things happen, not bitching and begging and wishful thinking.

I hope this happens

Are the people who have the money to film a show entirely insensitive to the potential demand for the product? While I seriously doubt any show ever has been or ever will be filmed as a result of a Facebook petition, I don't think it's totally irrational to find a way to publicly express your desire for one.

I really hope this happens! I love this show and the crappy concert version doesn't do it for me anymore.

If you can get Betty White to endorse the filming, then it's sure to happen. Remind me to start that Facebook page to get me $10M. If you "like" it, they will come.

First off Brody, I didn't start the petition, I just reposted, so if you have an issue with the person who did, take you business to them.

Secondly, grow the **** up.

I doubt this is going to happen, but I liked the page anyway. No skin off my back.

Actually Phantom, Brody stated the facts while you post this saying that someone else should fund it. You need to grow up.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 12/19/11 at 2:15pm

Don't grow up too fast.

Stay gold, Ponyboy.
