Follies Confidential Groups Edition
June, 2009

Dear Group Leaders and Tour Operators,

Let The Good Times Roll!The Follies 18th season recently concluded and, for those of you who attended Get Your Kicks!, we thank you. Your support is invaluable for our continued success and in return, we are happy to have provided your travelers with, what many have said, was our best show ever! In these trying economic times, a few-hours escape is perhaps the best medicine.

And continuing that notion, we are happy to announce the title for our all-new 19th Follies edition is Let the Good Times Roll! . . . and that's exactly what we’re going to do! Playing October 28, 2009 through May 16, 2010, the Fabulous Follies will celebrate happy days all season long as we bring back the greatest good-time music of the '40s, '50s and '60s. We’ll dance! We’ll sing! We’ll laugh . . . and we promise you’ll want to do the same!

Let The Good Times Roll!

We’re also very excited about our incredible line-up of world-renowned guest stars: two returning favorites — Susan Anton and The Four Aces, and two making their Follies debut — Rita Coolidge and Mary Wilson. Plus appearing all-season, acclaimed ventriloquist Brad Cummings and "Rex." Below you will find more information on each.

For those of you who’ve already reserved your seats for our upcoming season, we look forward to welcoming you and your groups. Contracts are now being prepared and will be sent by July 1st.

Over the past few months, in an effort to update our database, we attempted to contact all of our group leaders and tour operators by phone. We learned that some of you prefer an electronic version of our flyer while others prefer a printed brochure.

  • For those group leaders or tour operators who prefer an electronic version, Follies 19 Group Information is now available online for viewing and printing.
  • For those group leaders and tour operators who prefer a printed brochure, we will start mailing them out this week.
  • If we were unable to reach you by phone and you would like a brochure mailed, please fill out this form and a brochure will be sent to you.

We very much look forward to welcoming your group during the coming season. If you would like to book a group, if you have questions or would like additional information, please email us at groupsales@psfollies.com or phone us at 800-967-9997.

Thank you. And we look forward to seeing you again soon at the Follies!

Sincerely,

Shari Lipman

New YearsWith special show times of 3:30 and 9 p.m., your group will enjoy a champagne and cider reception in the Courtyard of the Plaza Theatre and will be welcomed at their seats by our group representatives. Patrons will find the Plaza Theatre (and much of the audience) specially decked out for the celebration, and at each seat, a gift bag containing a Follies poster, souvenir button, streamers, hat and noisemaker.
