But this was not just any rehearsal process, nor a typical opening night. This was the almost mythical "Follies, the work Rich calls "the most elusive of landmark musicals." Its creators were Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Michael Bennett, and James Goldman-giants in the evolution of the Broadway musical, geniuses at the top of their game. "Lord knows at least I was there," goes a Sondheim lyric from "Follies. In "Everything Was Possible, we all are there-at the birth of a musical that shimmers to this day.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
