All season long, the Follies brings back the greatestgood-time music of the 40s, 50s and 60s. From BigBands and Swing to Doo-Wop, Motown and Pop,we played these songs on the jukebox, listened tothem on our Hi-Fi’s, and watched them performedon TV, always in glorious black-and-white.

The Four Aces (January 6 – February 6, 2010) Thisiconic male quartet of the 1950s will perform theirmany hit recordings, including “Love Is A ManySplendored Thing,” “Stranger In Paradise” and“Three Coins in the Fountain.”

Rita Coolidge (February 9 – March 27, 2010) You’llremember her first hit, "(Your Love Has Lifted Me)Higher and Higher," which reached #2 in 1977,and we've loved her ever since.

Mary Wilson (March 30 – May 16, 2010) She madehistory as an original Supreme and will perform thehits of the world’s most famous Motown trio. Doyou recall “Stop in the Name of Love”?

Brad Cummings & “Rex” (All Season) You won’twant to miss Brad Cummings and his prehistoricsidekick, “Rex” the dinosaur. Cummings may wellbe the best ventriloquist in show business today!
