When you’re checking off the list of reasons why you should plan a visit to Palm Springs – sunshine, great resorts, shopping, outdoor sports and spectacular scenery – don’t overlook live musical theater. We’re talking specifically about the Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, a professionally produced show that has proven so successful that it is now in its 19th season.
The cast of the Follies is an incredibly talented group of older folks – somehow the term “senior citizens” just doesn’t seem to apply here – who all had long careers performing on Broadway, on national television and in some of the best theater groups in the country. The 16 cast members have all been at the top of their profession, singing and dancing their hearts out in major productions in the country’s best venues.

The Pantages Theatre is located on Hollywood Boulevard and is one of the city’s most endearing landmarks. The theater opened in 1930 and was once owned by Howard Hughes.
