Sondheim's 'Follies' is still here, still dazzling

Post Gazette: "The chorus girls of yesteryear never leave the stage in the new Kennedy Center revival of 'Follies,' Stephen Sondheim's 1971 meditation on love lost and the entertainment that went with it.
Throughout Eric Schaeffer's new Kennedy Center production, chorus girls in full Ziegfeld regalia -- sequins! headpieces! more sequins! -- loiter in the background, looking bored as they walk from stage left to stage right. They wear the costumes of an exuberant past and the listlessness of the has-beens they will become.
