The National Theatre production of Follies will be broadcast in movie theatres around the world as part of the organization's NT Live series. Watch the trailer for the cinematic release above.
The London production stars Imelda Staunton as Sally, Janie Dee as Phyllis, Phillip Quast as Ben, Peter Forbes as Buddy, and Tracie Bennett as Carlotta.
This Dominic Cooke-helmed revival is currently running at the National's Olivier Theatre through January 3, and will be broadcast to movie theatres internationally beginning November 16.
Follies features a score by Stephen Sondheim and book by John Weidman. It premiered on Broadway in 1971, with a West End premiere in 1987 that featured drastic revisions to the book and score. This production is the first fully-staged major London production to present the original Broadway version of the show.
