The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies celebrates happy days with its newest edition entitled Let The Good Times Roll! opening October 28, and playing through May 16, 2010. All season long, the Follies brings back the greatest good-time music of the 40s, 50s and 60s. From Big Bands and Swing to Doo-Wop, Motown and Pop, we played these songs on the jukebox, listened to them on our Hi-Fi’s, and watched them performed on TV, always in glorious black-and-white.
Riff Markowitz As always, lavish production numbers, a holiday spectacular (through December 31) and a starspangled finale are all performed by a cast old enough to remember the way it really was! Joining the Follies Man and his Legendary Line of Long-Legged Lovelies and Dapper Dans this season are four world-renowned guest stars and a remarkable variety act making his Follies debut: Susan Anton (October 28 – December 31, 2009) This talented beauty achieved stardom in film, TV, Las Vegas and Broadway, and now returns to the Follies’ stage for an encore engagement with a truly delightful Christmas performance. The Four Aces (January 6 – February 6, 2010) This iconic male quartet of the 1950s will perform their many hit recordings, including “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing,” “Stranger In Paradise” and “Three Coins in the Fountain.” Rita Coolidge (February 9 – March 27, 2010) You’ll remember her first hit, "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher," which reached #2 in 1977, and we've loved her ever since.
Mary Wilson (March 30 – May 16, 2010) She made history as an original Supreme and will perform the hits of the world’s most famous Motown trio. Do you recall “Stop in the Name of Love”? Brad Cummings & “Rex” (All Season) You won’t want to miss Brad Cummings and his prehistoric sidekick, “Rex” the dinosaur. Cummings may well be the best ventriloquist in show business today! The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies has been seen by nearly three million patrons, and celebrates the music and dance of the 40s, 50s and 60s with a cast ranging in age from 56 to 86 years “young.” The show features lavish, Broadway-caliber production numbers and plays five days a week, late October through mid-May. The Follies is housed in downtown Palm Springs’ historic Plaza Theatre – a charming, neon-encrusted old movie house and an attraction unto itself. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Box Office at (760) 3270225 or online at www.psfollies.com now. 35
