Everything Was Possible: The Birth Of The Musical Follies (Applause Books) - Plot & Excerpts
ON THE SET AT FELLER’S SCENIC STUDIO, JANUARY 30–FEBRUARY 5 Feller’s Scenic Studio occupies a nondescript, two-story brick factory building in the Bronx, a couple of blocks off the Grand Concourse and a few blocks from Yankee Stadium. Nothing about its exterior is inviting or interesting, let alone theatrical. The doors are of unfriendly steel, the windows, framed in standard-issue factory metal. Whatever its original use, it hardly looked like a place that was about to house the eclectic family of Follies, few of whom, one would have to guess, had ever been anywhere quite like it. Everyone converged at 10:45 A.M. Most of the company came in a very full chartered bus, having departed, in a wonderful reversal of usual matinee theatrical practice, from a Broadway theater, the Alvin, home to Company. There was lots of gossip about what everyone had done on the day off—Fifi regaled everyone with accounts of all the fascinating and expensive things she’d bought; Mathilde Pincus mentioned that she had copied out a new song for Buddy in record time and that Steve had called to thank her.
