About The Record:
Follies: A Broadway Legend, by the Original London Cast, captures the 1987 West End production of Stephen Sondheim's landmark musical Follies. This recording is historically significant as the first complete version of the score, including material abridged or omitted from the 1971 Broadway cast album due to format limitations. The production marked the musical's London premiere and featured a distinguished cast, including Julia McKenzie as Sally, Diana Rigg as Phyllis, Daniel Massey as Ben, and David Healy as Buddy. Unique for its comprehensive preservation of Sondheim's intricate pastiche songs and emotional depth, the album highlights fan-favorites such as Broadway Baby, I'm Still Here, Losing My Mind, and Could I Leave You? Julia McKenzie's rendition of Losing My Mind is especially revered among enthusiasts for its poignant vulnerability.
