Dear Group Leaders and Tour Operators,
We recently sent out the brand-new Group Sales Schedule and Prices, previewing our upcoming 17th season. Judging by the increase in phone calls, many of you have received it and have made plans to come see us again. If you haven’t received our mailing yet, please phone or email us with your contact information (name, address, phone number and the name of your group), and we will put one in the mail to you right away.
We’re so very excited about our all-new show, Tin Pan Alley!, and its line-up of world-renowned guest stars. Included below is a sneak preview of some our new costumes, plus sound clips of our guest stars for you to enjoy.
We very much look forward to seeing your group during the coming season. If you would like to book a group, or if you have questions or need additional information, please email us at groupsales@psfollies.com or phone us at 800-967-9997.
Thank you. We hope to see you soon at the Follies!
Sincerely,
Shari Lipman

From ragtime to doo-wop, from Broadway to bebop, the all-new 17th Follies celebrates the Golden Age of American pop music, from the turn-of-the-century through the 50s! All the songs you heard while you worked, loved, went to war and came home again, but most of all danced! Lavish production numbers, holiday spectacular (through Dec 31) and star-spangled finale—all performed by a cast old enough to remember The Way It Really Was!
