Well, there have already been a couple of concert versions of FOLLIES that have used the four original young leads as the older counterparts, so the novelty of that is really gone. Plus, it really would be preferable in my opinion to get some bigger names.
I agree with most of nobody's home's opinions, though. I am always excited by the "possibilities" each FOLLIES concert production provides, mostly in terms of casting potential, because we are probably not ever going to get a physical mounting again with the production values of the original. However, the power of the material is actually largely in that disturbing book. It's really not the same show at all when its as heavilly truncated as the 1985 concert.
