365 Things to Do in Palm Springs

The Palm Springs Follies

Touted as “one of the most fun things you can do in Palm Springs”, the Palm Springs Follies is a legendary and spectacular stage show not to be missed. The performers are a line-up of multi-talented stage performers ranging in age from 56 to 86, remaining true to the spirit of 40s, 50s and 60s entertainment. It’s a show filled with music, comedy, dance and pure fun at the 30’s-era Plaza Theatre movie house.

The Follies has garnered a worldwide reputation for its excitement and glamour. Guest headliners also appear with the company from time to time; most recently Maureen McGovern and John Davidson.

The Follies began when producer, writer and television director Riff Markowitz moved to the area and needed something to fill his time. When Palm Springs city officials asked if he could find a use for the under-utilized Plaza Theatre, Markowitz was ready to start the Follies. The costumed show girls, known as the “long-legged lovelies” perform comedy acts, vaudeville routines and show-stopping finales.
