Description
Sondheim's landmark musical about a reunion of showgirls, with a book by James Goldman.
_x000D_On the eve of its destruction, the once glamorous Weisman Theatre is filled with the ghosts of its past, as showgirls from 40 years ago reunite to relive bygone memories of glitz and dazzle.
_x000D_Sondheim and Goldman create a cinematic, hallucinatory blend of past and present, with the help of musical pastiche and a story that follows the disintegration of the promise of America between the wars.
_x000D_This edition was published alongside a major revival on Broadway, starring Bernadette Peters and Elaine Paige.
