They were once "Follies" girls.  the most beautiful and dreamed about musical entertainment stars that defined popular culture between the two World Wars.  This story is about what happened to these women since their shining moment and the American dream they symbolized for a generation.  The action of the show takes place at the theatre, now scheduled for demolition, where a group of Follies girls reunite for a party thirty years after the theatre closed its doors.
