Suggested Backdrops

Follies is set in a soon-to-be demolished theater, with the characters surrounded by the ghosts of past numbers and their younger selves. THEATRE BACKSTAGE is the perfect backdrop to capture this--and to leave tons of room for the show's elaborate dance numbers. Frame with VICTORIAN RUBY CURTAIN HEADER and VICTORIAN RUBY CURTAIN LEGS to reinforce the feeling of peering on to an empty stage and to hint and the grandeur of an earlier era. Another grand and theatrical option is RED AND GOLD DRAPES. Finally, consider ART DECO ABSTRACT or WE'RE IN THE MONEY to add some pizzazz to the grander performance numbers. If you're "Losing [Your] Mind" planning your Follies set, let TheatreWorld's backdrops make your job easy!!!

Follies Backdrops

In Follies, the time is 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind", "I'm Still Here", and "Broadway Baby". Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present, coming face-to-face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart wrenching, and epic in scope, Follies uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years...
