New at the Follies

Last Chance To See Legendary Lesley Gore

Palm Springs, California (April 24, 2013) After nearly 200 performances, the 22nd edition of The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies--Dance To The Music!--comes to a close on Sunday, May 19. All season long, the Follies has celebrated the dance crazes of the '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s, with a cast old enough to remember the way it really was!

This is also the last opportunity to hear legendary vocalist Lesley Gore perform her Gold Record hits "You Don't Own Me," "Judy's Turn To Cry," and her #1 smash and the anthem of a generation, "It's My Party."

And concluding his encore Follies engagement is the world's greatest hula-hoop artiste Mat Plendl.

Also, the Follies' first ever "Cocktails With the Cast" event debuts immediately following the May 15 matinee and will be held at the new Oscar's Bar and Cafe directly around the corner from the historic Plaza Theatre. Cast parties at the end of a theatrical season are a time-honored tradition, but this year, Follies patrons are invited to join the fun! Packages for this event include main floor theater seating for the May 15 matinee, one well drink, appetizers, music and the opportunity to meet and mingle with the entire Follies cast. Plus a few surprises!

Tickets for this special event and all remaining Follies performances are now available, but hurry--the best seats go quickly!

In preparation for the Follies' all-new show opening November 1, 2013, online ticket sales begin July 15, and the Follies Box Office reopens September 30.

The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies has been seen by nearly three million patrons, and celebrates the music and dance of Mid-Century America with a cast ranging in age from 55 to 83 years young. The show features lavish, Broadway-caliber production numbers, and plays five days a week, early November through mid-May. In 1998, it was the subject of an Academy Award-nominated short-subject documentary. The Follies is housed in downtown Palm Springs' historic Plaza Theatre–a neon-encrusted, storybook old movie house and is an attraction unto itself. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Box Office at (760) 327-0225 or online at www.psfollies.com.
