The first of two programmes Follies: Four Days in New York Broadway, 6 September 1985.
A unique concert performance of Stephen Sondheim 's Follies, a cult musical ever since it was first staged in 1971, with a top line cast that would never be assembled for a normal theatre run. This film follows four hectic days of rehearsal for the gala concert, and shows highlights from one of Broadway's most memorable nights. After the show, Carol Burnett said 'It was like being shot out of a cannon', and the New York Times reported,
'The audience simply erupted into pandemonium'.
The principal performers are Lee Remick
George Hearn Barbara Cook and Mandy Patinkin with special contributions from
Elaine Stritch Carol Burnett
Betty Comden and Adolph Green
Phyllis Newman
Liliane Montevecehi Licia Albanese and Erie Mills

Biography: a report on this week's second annual Folio Society debate in which GERMAINE GREER and AUBERON WAUGH proposed the motion 'Biographers are generally a disease of English literature'. They were opposed by VICTORIA GLENDINNING and RICHARD HOLMES , with contributions from many other leading biographers.
Music: the American Steve Reich, continuing to set the paceasaperformer/composer, starts a British tour which is likely to draw the crowds. But how long will minimalism remain popular? He talks about his music and plays part of his new work Sextet.
Art: a look at the work of BOB LINNEY whose posters for the Arts Council's Contemporary Music Network are so popular that they are often torn down by collectors well in advance of the events that they publicise.
