 Darlin's,
Speaking of recent events, California has been very much in the news of late. But if I may paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of the state’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Over the years, our beloved Golden State has survived earthquakes, mudslides and oil spills. The Donner party, the Zoot Suit Riots and the Summer of Love. We specialize in “recovery.” In fact, we have any number of clinics and halfway houses devoted to it! And to us in the Desert, Mother Nature was kind this year. (As she almost always is, except in midsummer, when she vacations elsewhere.) The Palm Springs area is bustling beneath sunny skies as Be well and we’ll see you soon at the Follies!
For a fascinating glimpse "behind the scenes" of the Follies, please click here to view a brief video. The Desert Sun Newspaper's Matt Wolfe is given a backstage tour by Follies Assistant Director Amy Sand as she readies the show for its 17th season premier earlier this week.
  We partner with over 35 restaurants, hotels, attractions, retailers and special services to assist in making your visit to Palm Springs and the Follies even more enjoyable. Please browse the "Visitor Information" page of the Follies website or click here for a complete listing plus additional helpful details. Some vendors even make special offers exclusive to Follies patrons, so please check with them before your next Follies visit. This page also includes parking information and street directions to make getting to the Follies as easy as possible!  The Follies box office is open Monday through Saturday 10:00AM-5:00PM an agent can be reached from 9:00AM-6:00PM by calling (760) 327-0225; Sunday hours are 10:00AM-4:00PM or you can purchase tickets online 24 hours a day at www.psfollies.com and see your exact seat location at the time of booking. The Follies physical box office, located at the entrance to the Historic Plaza Theatre, is open on the same days.

Our all-new Follies opened on Tuesday, October 30, with an explosion of sequins and confetti, and the great songs of Tin Pan Alley! The enthusiastic opening-day audience rewarded us with most welcome howls of laughter, cheers and a standing ovation. I won’t say it’s easy to top our previous efforts, but I do believe we’ve done it. 
I’ve included a few photos, but you can best judge for yourself in person, when next we welcome you to the historic old Plaza Theatre.
snowbirds and tourists make their annual return for the “Season.” It’s rather like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano. But with a lot more feathers!
