Here's what The Detroit Actor's Theatre group says about the show:
"The Follies was formed giving homage to the revue style born in the early 1900's and made popular by Florenz Ziefeld with his famous Zigfeld Follies. Back then the show featured large chorus numbers with fun and engaging performers. The Detroit Actor's Theatre Follies of today features a strong cast singing some of your favorite show stopping numbers from your all time favorite Broadway shows!
Follies includes songs like Be Our Guest (Beauty and the Beast), Seize the Day (Newsies), One Day More (Les Miserables), Sit Down You're Rockin The Boat (Guys and Dolls) and many more!
The show is directed by DATC Artistic Director Eric Swanson, Vocal Music Direction by Gerianne Ditto with Music Direction/ Orchestration by Matthew Croft! "
