I've been to this show three times and each performance has been a unique and entertaining experience. It starts with the theater, itself, exuding vintage yesteryear from its architecture to the wonderful show sets. But the way-back machine doesn't end there. The vaudeville acts, the banter of the leading-man emcee and the grace and beauty of the showgirls and their costumes make me nostalgic for an era I wished I had experienced first hand. Even the friendly, uniformed ushers hint at the innocent fun that's in store. I heartily recommend this living history of our greatest generation to theater goers of all ages.

What a wonderful show! I have never seen such a great group of people put on such a great show, not to mention all the acts are over the age of 55. I was completely enthralled and entertained the entire time. I urge all who visit Palm Springs to make The Follies a stop on your visit. I will definitely go again! Cheers!

This is about the best show around! The dancers are amazing for their age and from the audience you can't even see a single wrinkle!

The singing is wonderful and the entire show is emotional, even if you didn't live to see the decades they focus on yourself.

The jokes are hilarious, and all the sets are fabulous.

Every year it is a must see show....FABULOUS!!!

I went to the show with my Dad and girlfriend and could not believe this gem in the desert that I had missed up until now!

The three of us were extremely entertained and enjoyed every aspect of the performance. First there is the atmosphere of the Historic Plaza Theatre - they have really done incredible work on the place - like going into another time. The ushers were extremely friendly and professional, the house was clean and beautiful and right from the start the sound was amazing!

As the show progressed, I was amazed by the set design, by the incredible lighting and by the little touches here and there that added to an experience rather than just a show.

The performers were more flexible and athletic than I am! The women were sexy, the men charming and let us not forget the Follies Impresario, Riff Markowitz. This guy makes fun of everyone and it's an absolute riot! A real gentleman and a showman.

The guest acts were sweet (personally I loved the impressions by Babe Pier - not often you hear an impressionist who can SING impressions as well as speak them). My girlfriend loved the dog act and Melba Moore has pipes - wow!

All and all, this was an amazing experience. I did not know that the Follies changes their show completely each year - I had always assumed it was the same show 17 years strait. We plan to attend next year. A MUST for the Palm Springs experience!

"They sing, they dance, and they are ancient....", or so this is how this show is described in their brochure. The Follies have been around for years and sell out all winter to crowds who want to come back for more. This is about as unique a show as you can find!

The gimmick here is that all the performers range in age from 58 to 87 years old. These ladies (and gents) can kick, dance, sing, and hoof just as well as dancers half their age. It's an inspiration to us all.

The show runs only during the winter season (November thru May) in the Plaza Theater in downtown Palm Springs. The show itself is three hours long, and trust me, you will tire just watching these seniors tap and kick. The costumes, sets, and lighting are all first- rate and similar to those at Radio City Music Hall or any top-rated Las Vegas show.

Each year, the show has a theme; in 2004/05, the theme is "Give Em What They Want". Besides the dancing, the show also has some vaudeville acts and comics. I had never seen a true vaudeville act and can't tell you how funny I thought the acts were. You really understand what an art form vaudeville was, and you will wonder why it ever died. The Fabulous Follies also have big-name seniors show up from time to time. They get names like Kay Ballard and Buddy Greco to play certain weeks each winter. You can check their web page to find who and when they are playing.

The Follies play in the Spanish-style Plaza Theater in downtown Palm Springs. The theater opened in 1936 and hosted the premier of Camille with Greta Garbo. Since then, many major stars have played here. The theater went through a major renovation to house The Follies. I can’t help but think that many of these women were born before this theater was even opened in 1936!

The ticket prices range from $39 to $89, depending on whether the show is a matinee or evening show, the seating location, and the show dates. The matinees run at 1:30pm, and the evening shows run at 7pm. The seniors take their rests on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I can't tell you how much fun this show was, and how inspired you will be to see women in their 70s and 80s dancing up a storm. Check out their web page for lots of photos and more information about tickets and showtimes: The Fabulous Follies
