Brilliant! I first saw this film on Frank Rich's facebook page. He also promoted it on his twitter feed. Mr Rich wrote- "What if that long-rumored Hollywood backlot film adaptation of Sondheim's "Follies" had actually been made? Ed Cachianes, who did the extraordinary mini-version of "Pacific Overtures," has distilled "Follies" and golden-era movie history into a ten-minute video, an exquisite and moving miracle of time travel, not to be missed: FOLLIES@THE ROXY"

Having seen Follies many times as a teenager i must say I really enjoyed this. Also it was great to hear One More Kiss, a lovely song infamously left off the initial OCR.

Many thanks for chiming in.

WOW! You took the show back to its direct inspiration. Bravo!

What a labor of love -- and what a labor to produce! The concept is imaginative, and the result is amazing.

A ‘mini masterpiece’ . Sondheim’s ‘FOLLIES’ was born out of the wreckage of the once opulent and ornate ROXY via that indelible image of Gloria Swanson stood in the rubble….. Theatres are not demolished, they are ‘destroyed’

A small masterpiece.

To echo the sentiments expressed...brilliant, so well done. I know the kind of intricate focus and time commitment this type project requires. I'm a big fan of FOLLIES and this is very impressive.

Yes and in my opinion the greatest theater orchestrator of all time.
