MUSICAL
The mood is decidedly Ziegfeldian as the curtain rises on a Follies-style tribute to legendary humorist Will Rogers. As the “New Ziegfeld Girls” sing about the “Will-a-Mania” that has swept the nation, Will’s incredible life story unfolds in humor, song and dance and even a few rope tricks. In one of his signature monologues, Will expounds upon the political issues of his time, and ours. Complete with beautiful show girls, lavish production numbers, a score worthy of the great Ziegfeld himself, The Will Rogers Follies will have you humming, tapping your toes and longing for those glamorous bygone days.
