Holidays at the Follies

Every November and December, the Follies presents a lavish, holiday spectacular concluding with a gentle fall of snowflakes blanketing delighted theatergoers.

Candy-cane girls, a distaff Santa and her admirer, strolling bands of carolers and dancing penguins come together to make the Follies' Yuletide both joyous and unique. And for those who celebrate a different winter holiday, a cheery Chanukah bear presides over the fun!

Add spectacular sets, glittery costumes and dazzling special effects, and we guarantee a scene neither Macy's nor Gimbel's could match!

Then, on December 31, the Follies presents two New Year’s Eve performances beginning at 3:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. These special events kick-off with a champagne reception where each patron receives a goody bag, hat and noisemaker. At the stroke of midnight (or “Rio de Janeiro midnight” for matinee-goers), the Follies Man and cast join audiences in welcoming the New Year with the sentimental strains of Auld Lang Sang. According to Follies Impresario Riff Markowitz, “Guy Lombardo would be green with envy.”
