This IS the Piano Vocal Score

As another reviewer has said, although the preview feature links a different book, when you buy this they send you the correct one: the piano/vocal score of the 1971 version of Follies.

It's the Piano-Vocal Book, All Right

Yes, this is the complete piano-vocal score, but when you click on the image (to "look inside"), you get taken to a completely different book. That's why the reviewer below is cautioning against this volume. But I recently ordered it, and it's got all the music from the original production of this show.

Wonderful

Quite possibly the greatest musical ever, this musical is both tragic and comical. It's the only piece of theatre I've ever seen where audience members were moved to tears in the first ten minutes. It's truly a relevation for anyone who sees it or reads it. I can not recommend this brilliant and innovative piece of theatre highly enough.

A special piece of Music. A Masterwork of art.

Stephen Sondheim is one of the greatest composers in our time and it is a pleasure to play and read his music. Follies is a great musical and the score is simply perfect. The interesting sound and the incredible musicality is more than perfect. This piece of music should be very important for every lover of musicals. Thank you, Stephen.
