Performance dates are Wednesday, Dec 4 at 7pm, Thursday, Dec 5 at 2pm matinee and 7pm evening show, and Friday, Dec 6 at 2pm matinee and 7pm evening show.

The Spectacular Follies began in 2008 as a showcase for performers over the age of 55 and continues to entertain the residents of the Metroplex with our big show each April featuring a cast of 100 entertainers in a lavish review. The Follies added a Holiday show in 2015 that has been a big hit with audiences.
Our founders, Ned Startzel, Mark Carroll and Rose-Mary Rumbley joined forces to bring the Dallas area audiences the thrill of seeing live stage shows for our senior community and grew to be one of the largest shows of this kind in the country. From tributes to the greatest composers to celebrating the voices of Broadway, Country and Opera, the Follies brings solid, family-friendly entertainment joy that you just can’t see on most stages these days. We believe in wholesome, first-class performances with beautiful sets, colorful lights, gorgeous costumes and tons of real old-fashioned talent. No expense is spared in bringing our shows to life.
The Follies cast is made up of talented entertainers who have performed all over the US in their younger years and joined forces to create the longest running showcase featuring acts over the age of 55. We feature vocalists, dancers, and comedy acts that have thrilled our audiences with their youthful exuberance that defy their actual ages. The cast is very excited about sharing the Holidays with great songs that will fill your hearts with joy as we Celebrate Christmas favorites and even a tribute to Hannukah. This fun filled showcase is a perfect early Holiday gift from the Follies to you and your families. Come be part of this celebration and share the joy.

We want to bring our family-oriented Holiday showcase to you so you can get excited about coming to see us in "Feelin’ Groovy, our tribute to the music of the 60s and 70s" in April of 2025. After a successful run last season, the Follies will present another musical/variety revue featuring the hits of the 60s and 70s. Last year, the audience was so energized by the show and hearing their favorite tunes, that many jumped up and started dancing in their seats and in the aisles. The theater was rockin’ and rollin’ for all five fun filled performances. We will present all new song and dance classics from the era that will guarantee that you will be clapping along, stomping your feet and singing out loud; all are encouraged during a Follies performance. Your fun is our greatest desire.
