The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies celebrates happydays with its newest edition entitled Let The GoodTimes Roll! opening October 28, and playingthrough May 16, 2010.

All season long, the Follies brings back the greatestgood-time music of the 40s, 50s and 60s. From BigBands and Swing to Doo-Wop, Motown and Pop,we played these songs on the jukebox, listened tothem on our Hi-Fi’s, and watched them performedon TV, always in glorious black-and-white.

As always, lavish production numbers, a holidayspectacular (through December 31) and a star-spangled finale are all performed by a cast oldenough to remember the way it really was!

Joining the Follies Man and his Legendary Line ofLong-Legged Lovelies and Dapper Dans this seasonare four world-renowned guest stars and aremarkable 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 theFollies’ stage for an encore engagement with a trulydelightful Christmas performance.

The Four Aces (January 6 – February 6, 2010) Thisiconic male quartet of the 1950s will perform theirmany hit recordings, including “Love Is A ManySplendored Thing,” “Stranger In Paradise” and“Three Coins in the Fountain.”

Rita Coolidge (February 9 – March 27, 2010) You’llremember 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 madehistory as an original Supreme and will perform thehits of the world’s most famous Motown trio. Doyou recall “Stop in the Name of Love”?

Brad Cummings & “Rex” (All Season) You won’twant to miss Brad Cummings and his prehistoricsidekick, “Rex” the dinosaur. Cummings may wellbe the best ventriloquist in show business today!

The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies has been seenby nearly three million patrons, and celebrates themusic and dance of the 40s, 50s and 60s with acast ranging in age from 56 to 86 years “young.”The show features lavish, Broadway-caliberproduction numbers and plays five days a week,late October through mid-May. The Follies ishoused in downtown Palm Springs’ historic PlazaTheatre – a charming, neon-encrusted old moviehouse and an attraction unto itself.
