CELEBRATE THE SEASON WITH THE SPECTACULAR FOLLIES!

by Scott Hickman

The Spectacular Follies brings music, laughter and holiday magic to Lewisville with Fa La La La Follies, December 10–13.

There’s something special about the holidays—the music, the memories, the laughter and the traditions that bring us together. This December, the Spectacular Follies is wrapping all of those things into one festive package with Fa La La La Follies, a joyful holiday celebration filled with music, dancing, comedy and plenty of surprises.

Audiences can expect the kind of high-energy entertainment that has become a hallmark of the Spectacular Follies, all dressed up for the most wonderful time of the year. From beloved holiday favorites to lively production numbers and heartwarming moments, Fa La La La Follies is designed to put a smile on your face and send you home humming a holiday tune.

And this year, there’s another reason to celebrate: the Follies has a new home for its holiday production—the Lewisville Grand Theater in Lewisville.

The beautiful new setting provides the perfect backdrop for a show that promises to be merry, bright and overflowing with holiday spirit. Performances will take place December 10–13, with 2:00 p.m. matinees each day and a special 7:00 p.m. Friday evening performance.

A Holiday Show with a Follies Twist

If you’ve seen the Spectacular Follies before, you know this isn’t your ordinary holiday concert.

The Follies believes entertainment should be fun—for the audience and for the performers. Fa La La La Follies will showcase the talents and personalities of an energetic cast of performers age 55 and better, proving once again that talent, enthusiasm and a love of performing have absolutely no expiration date.

The result is an afternoon or evening that is as much about joy as it is about entertainment.

Expect beautiful voices, colorful costumes, spirited dancing, comedy and music that brings back memories of holidays past while creating new memories for today. Whether you come with friends, your spouse, your children or grandchildren, Fa La La La Follies offers an opportunity to share an experience together—and isn’t that what the holidays are really about?

A Tradition of Entertaining North Texas

The Spectacular Follies has a long tradition of bringing talented performers together to entertain audiences throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

What makes the organization especially unique is its cast. Performers must be at least 55 years young, but once the curtain goes up, age quickly becomes irrelevant. These singers, dancers, comedians and specialty performers bring years of experience, enthusiasm and personality to the stage.

Over the years, the Spectacular Follies has entertained audiences with productions celebrating Broadway, the music of past decades, classic favorites and more. At the heart of every production is a simple idea: bringing joy to others through entertainment.

That mission also extends beyond the theater. Through programs such as Taste of the Follies, performers take their talents into senior living communities, recreation centers and other locations, bringing music and laughter directly to audiences throughout the community.

For the performers themselves, the Follies is about more than putting on a show. It is about staying active, sharing talents, forming friendships and continuing to do something they love. For audiences, it’s a reminder that creativity, energy and a zest for life can flourish at every age.

Make the Follies Part of Your Holiday Tradition
