Stephen Sondheim's musical Follies is to return to the National Theatre in 2019.

The cast of Follies

Following a critically acclaimed run in 2017-18, Stephen Sondheim and James Golman's musical Follies is to return to the National Theatre in 2019. Casting and production dates will be announced in the near future.

The production recently won two awards at the London's Critic's Circle Theatre Awards for Dominic Cooke (Best Director) and Vicki Mortimer (Best Designer). A cast album of the production is expected to be released in the coming months.

Dominic Cooke's production of Follies saw the show restored scenes cut from the 1971 Broadway premiere and used Jonathan Tunick's full original orchestration and saw the show returned to its original one-act structure.

The National Theatre's production of Follies saw four-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton as Sally Durrant, three time Olivier winner Philip Quast as Ben, and Olivier and Obie Award winner Janie Dee as Phyllis, with Peter Forbes as Buddy and two time Olivier winner Tracie Bennett as Carlotta Campion.
