Palm Springs Follies
Filed under: On the Road — StyleGuide @ 6:25 pm
For a near-by get-away that feels more like a trip through a time warp, there’s no place like Palm Springs. And come fall, once both the temperature gauge and the snowbirds descend, one of the greatest shows of all time lights up the night.
They come in wheelchairs and retirement home buses, an audience “with an average age of dead” packing into a gargantuan theater for a sold-out show with music from the 20s, 30s, and 40s — featuring performers from the 20s, 30s and 40s.
It is the inimitable Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, a Vegas-style revue with a cast ranging in age from 59 to 84 years old.
Some may balk at seeing the elderly in little more than skimpy bathing suits and strategically placed feathers. But the artistry, dedication and endurance of these performers will win you over.
Tickets are a little pricey, but sometimes I like to splurge a little on vacation in the interest of expanding my mind. And in this case, mission accomplished.
Price: $$$$ ($50 and up)
Where: 128 South Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, California
Call: 760-327-0225
