The last of the "Follies"
by makua on 8/23/15ballys - las vegasI first saw the show over 35 years ago #70's#!... It had claimed to be one of the "BEST FOLLIES SHOW" to see in Vegas back then! And it really was beautiful and dazzling in everyway I can recall!...but now with several Cirque du solieh productions and other new types of entertainments that had taken over etc....I had to see Jubillee again!!! My heart jumped on the opening to see the beautiful "Follies" again!!!....it took me to tears of joy to see the ART of FOLLIES!!! And we were very excited to see what if any new ""changes added to keep the FOLLIES quality alive and strong But then as the show continued....somehow we all ended struggling to keep our eyes open!? Music/sound effects was weak for the most part ...theatre temperature seating was warm #had to fan ourselves..warmth caused us to get tired#...costumes were clearly of the old material/style and still the same from before!!! The women were beautiful in the follies costumes...but surprise nothing newer. bigger..brighter or better had been done to the costumes...or to the "Art of Follies"!!! Its hanging on to the residue and shadow of the "old Jubilee" show! To tip it off even more....is to see the male dancers looking just as slim and long legged as the showgirls...that a man need not worry about getting jealous!!!...if taking his wife or girl too see the show (no eye candy for the ladies at all... so sorry but truel#!. There was a male singer that sang beautiful we had noticed and agreed...but there is still room for better/stronger needed singers...so sorry but true! I believe the "Follies" in Vegas should always REIGN in Vegas!!!...no matter what new shows/trends comes its way! Vegas Follies Forever!!! Jubillee.or investors....do something about it plzzzz!!! There's still hope for it to be appreciated and timeless!
