'FOLLIES'
From Broadway
to the
Ahmanson!
Exclusive Discounts of up to 40%
for Local 47 Members!
Occasionally, there are very special productions that come directly from Broadway to Los Angeles, like God of Carnage last season. Follies is the next triumph. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts production will be coming exclusively to the Ahmanson with its 28-piece orchestra , huge cast of 41, and with its Broadway stars, Benjamin Stone and Olivier Award winner Elaine Paige, four-time Tony Award nominee Jan Maxwell, two-time Tony Award nominee Danny Burstein, three-time Emmy Award nominee Ron Raines and new addition Tony Award-winner Victoria Clark.
The critically acclaimed revival of the Sondheim classic will be here for six weeks only from May 3rd-June 9th, 2012. As the only theatre in the country presenting this production shortly after its run on Broadway, we’re extremely excited to have it as part of our season.
Groups of 15 or more who book now can receive unprecedented discounts of up to 40% off regular prices, and discounted individual prices for early performances start at just $49 for orchestra seats! Click here for details.
About the Show:
When former members of the “Weismann Follies” reunite on the eve of their theatre's demolition, two couples remember their past and face the harsher realities of the present. Reminiscing about their younger selves and the years gone by, the crumbling theatre brings back memories for both couples of good times and bad. Containing such well-known songs as “Broadway Baby,” “I’m Still Here,” “Too Many Mornings,” “Could I Leave You?” and “Losing My Mind,” “Follies” echoes the songs, exuberance and romance of the vaudeville days between the two World Wars.
Jake Hanna:
The Rhythm and Wit
of a Swinging Jazz Drummer
An upcoming book by Maria S. Judge
Meredith Music Publications: October 2012
Jake's 60-year career as a top jazz drummer is told through stories and tributes from 100+ friends and fellow musicians, including Marian McPartland, Charlie Watts, Scott Hamilton, Warren Vache and Howard Alden. These are woven around the history of the three phases of his career: he first drove the big bands of Harry James and Woody Herman; he next spent 10 years with "The Merv Griffin Show" studio orchestra; he then moved on to play with Supersax, the Hanna Fontana Band, Oscar Peterson, Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney and Roberta Gambarini. And always with the jokes!
