Hope he's incorrect about the transfer likely being too expensive.

Follies is a brilliant show but it's never been a money-maker. I know virtually everything in London gets transfer talk nowadays, but I'd be highly surprised if anyone thought it was a good idea to bring this over. Especially since the last money-losing revival was only 6 years ago.

Follies is one of my favorite musicals but this seems like a bad idea. Unless a non-profit wanted to produce it. That being said, I'd never say no to a new production.
I can't believe that last revival was already 6 years ago!

The sets, the costumes, the cast size, the orchestra size... producing Follies takes a boatload of money. It would have to run for years to recoup. Looking back, I'm surprised the 2011 revival even happened (surprised, but not upset). As much as I would love for this to transfer, it's not gonna happen.
