The Conner & Smith Show

Follies in Concert (1985)


Listen Later

Join Matt and me as we dive headfirst into Follies in Concert (1985)—the most glamorous, chaotic, star-packed night Broadway never quite recovered from. Imagine Elaine Stritch growling, Barbara Cook soaring, Carol Burnett emoting, and Mandy Patinkin… well, Mandy Patinkining all over the place. It was supposed to be a one-night concert, but someone said, “Hey, what if we film this fever dream?” And thank goodness they did.

There’s drama. There’s divas. There’s a chorus that’s definitely not ready. It’s Sondheim with a side of backstage panic, and we’re here for every second.


Watch before we talk about it—you’ll want to know what we’re screaming about.
