Sondheim groupies were out in full force at the Kennedy Center Saturday for the opening of “Follies” — and got a bonus with the appearance of composer Stephen Sondheim at the performance and cast party. The Broadway legend found a second home in Washington thanks to director Eric Schaeffer, who turned Shirlington’s Signature Theatre into a national center for All Things Sondheim over the past two decades. (You can read it all in Schaeffer’s new book, titled — what else? — “My Signature Story.”) With the lavish $7 million “Follies” revival crossed off his bucket list, what’s next? “I’ve never directed ‘A Little Night Music,’ ” Schaeffer told us. “And we have to do justice to ‘Company’ — we did it in 1993 in the garage.”
