3.5 Follies!
Manage episode 321290293 series 2919234
It's camp o'clock! Peter & Nathan turn to Sondheim’s 1971 iconic Follies, a show that takes a loving—but brutal—look at nostalgia, camp, the power of memory, and the danger of looking back.
________________________________
We talk about:
- Nostalgia. The role of nostalgia and the warning articulated in Follies: "never look back"
- Camp. The nature of camp, Susan Sontag’s essay "Notes on Camp" and how Follies explores campiness, drag culture, and the excesses of the 20th century
- Women. Follies as a show about women and women’s bodies
- Spirits. Ghosts, the communion of saints, and the past's impact on the present
- Aging. The spirituality of aging, what it means to be fully alive, and the power of endurance
________________________________
You’ll hear:
- The Prologue, "Beautiful Girls," "Broadway Baby," and "In Buddy’s Eyes" as performed by Bernadette Peters, Jayne Houdyshell, Michael Haynes and the company of the 2012 Broadway Revival production
- The late, great Barbara Cook singing "Losing My Mind" from the 1985 Concert Recording
- The legendary Elaine Stritch performing "I’m Still Here"—which you have to watch on YouTube and then find all the other women in red singing their Sondheim tributes: https://youtu.be/3Xz1TUgdG6A
