Fabulous Palm Springs Follies
Legendary Bevy of Beauties
Back to Fabulous Palm Springs Follies
Our third time this year and we were deeply disappointed in the lack of freshness, creativity, number of acts, and a feeling of everybody being "tired" of doing this. To be honest, cannot recommend this show until someone steps in and makes it crisp, truly funny, and creative again. Wish we could have been more delighted--we weren't!

After having been to Palm Springs many times, but never while the Follies was 'in season', I finally had the opportunity to arrive at the Plaza Theatre and enjoy the current show, Let The Good Times Roll. Good show, Susan Anton was great but the best part was inviting us in to the lives of the entertainers by introducing them one by one and letting them speak to us.

We have just returned to Illinois from our yearly stay in Palm Desert. This has been our fifth visit to the Follies. I cannot imagine being out there and not seeing the newest review. It is always a pleasure. My husband thought the ventriloquist was super. I am the same age as Susan Anton but somehow I don't look like her :-) We thoroughly enjoy every show and all the fabulous music and costumes. Please keep up the great work!!! Sincerely, Two of Riff's People :-)

I've been coming to this show every year for the last 16 or 17 years. Sometimes twice a year. I have never been disappointed and have bragged about it to friends and family and they have bought tickets. You never cease to completely entertain. This year's show was wonderful. Susan Anton was a real delight. What an entertainer!! And the ventriloquist was amazing. What a cute idea to use a person from the audience to demonstrate how easy it is. It was VERY funny. Your salute to the military always puts tears in my eyes. You are a real Patriot. Thanks for all the laughs and the beautiful costumes and the most impressive talented seniors I'm sure anywhere. They all look like they are having so much fun.

I took my sister and friend and we were very impressed with the show.

Last week was my second visit to the Follies. The first time (Jan. 2009) was with a group from a club I belong to. At that time I had no idea whatsoever who or what I was going to see. When I got to the theater, I did realize that the show must consist of older performers - I gleaned that from posters around, etc. I thought perhaps this was going to be a show for older folks (even though I'm 67, I don't feel or think REAL old) & I wasn't too excited. Once the show started, however, I changed my thinking!! First of all, Rif Markowitz was very funny. When the dancers started, I thought that they couldn't be very old with the way they were moving around. :) When the performer introductions started I was AMAZED at the ages of some of the people. To make a long story short, the Follies performers are an inspiration to anyone watching. The show itself if very entertaining and well done.

It was tremendous. After paying nearly $300 to treat my Australian friends to the show, I thought it was worth every penny, until I met an elderly lady in the lobby and she said that was the best $10 I ever spent. I thought how could that be when I paid so much. She said she came on a bus tour, but even then I cannot believe it only costing $10. The price is worth it but with this economy I wish it had been a little less costly. Cannot do it too often, but will always try and get there each year.No one goes to Palm Springs when they visit without seeing the Fabulous Follies.

My husband and I attended the Follies this past weekend (Halloween) abd thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The show was entertaining, amazing, spectacular, uplifting, patriotic, and fun! They don't call it the "Fabulous Follies" for nuthin'!

We have been going to the last show in May for the past eight years, and never tire of the wonderful entertainment. Will miss Sammy King and Francisco very much - that bird seems real! Never tire of seeing the lovely ladies' costumes as they as always so beautiful. Of course, the Follies would not be the same without Riff....!
