Bringing high-quality musical theatre to Harpenden for over 70 years and back by popular demand following its stunning performances of EVITA and Made in Dagenham, HMTC (Harpenden Musical Theatre Company) is thrilled to perform the sensational musical Follies at the fabulous Eric Morecambe Centre.

With the endless variety of Stephen Sondheim’s show music from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s and the time-travel trickery of its author James Goldman, Follies is a glamorous and fascinating peek into a bygone era, and a clear-eyed look at the transformation of relationships over time.

The time is 1971, and the theatrical impresario, Dimitri Weismann, is hosting a reunion of ex-Follies performers in their former theatre. In a sparkling atmosphere of bittersweet nostalgia, a wide variety of famous Follies beauties of years gone by, laugh, reminisce, brag, boast, express regret and perform the numbers which made them famous, mirrored by characters who play the memories of their younger selves. Amid the reminiscing, two couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present, coming face-to-face with the future.

Considered by many to be the greatest musical ever created, Follies is a sophisticated, compelling and heart wrenching masterpiece, featuring the showstopping songs “Losing My Mind”, “I’m Still Here” and” Broadway Baby” , as well as stunning tap and jazz dance numbers and a fabulous display of glamourous showgirl feathers and sequins.”
