Laughter with Tears
We recently treated Oregon relatives to the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies starring John Davidson. Sitting in row 2 center, we so enjoyed his love song to a guest in the front row. What a hoot! Loved him when he was in his youth and love him now! also enjoyed Susan Anton in February with Idaho relatives. The entire show is so enjoyable, always enjoy Riff and his humor so beautifully delivered. I find I am laughing until tears flow down my cheeks. It's a nice drive over from Escondido and a great way to show off the country and entertain our out-of-state loved ones. Keep up the great work and congratulations to all the stars and members of a fantastic cast.
The Veterans of the Theatre Plied Their Magic Again

From the first note of the Overture to the last "Now you can go home, the audience was treated to a masterful Reincaration of the wonderful times of the theater follies and old time vaudeville.
Each segment held the audience enthralled. The poodles' errors as well as their skills, the showgirls' massive costumes, and the skill of the Master of Ceremonies put the icing on the cake.
I, like countless others will return for future performances.
Patriotism Plus

The patriotic ending of the show is always the best... this year made even better by the inclusion of the flag of the Merchant Marines. Back in WWII, the Merchant Marines were not considered to be a part of our military, even though they risked their lives carrying supplies to our troops. My own dad's ship was torpedoed by a German U-boat in the Gulf of Mexico in 1942; all hands were lost. Thank you Riff, and all of the Follies cast and crew for always paying tribute to the veterans in the audience. God bless you all, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
I Was Transported to a Wonderful Time and Place!

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.
WOW! What a Show!

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!
