Esther's Follie's Show Splish, Splash, and Dish

: Esther's Follies, now in its 35th year of comedy on Sixth Street, presents a summer show of laughter and musical parody, audience participation, and, not surprisingly, politics, offering regular fodder for skewering and roasting. Esther's News Medley opens each show with up-to-the-minute commentary on news issues and headlines – gay marriage, the Texas primary, John Edwards trial, the Supreme Court, Greece's financial crisis, and Facebook's stock sale!

“The Guys of Sixth Street” takes a musical… Show more look at all the males out on the prowl in the Entertainment District. “Barak's Big Beach Blowout” is an all-out musical brawl of Democrats vs. Republicans, and the Super Pacs' negative campaign ads!

Cast members MATT HISLOPE and ELLANA KELTER rejoin the Follies' talented fold, Matt after a 6 year hiatus, and Ellana having just graduated with a masters in theater management from Chicago! RAY ANDERSON offers new illusions this month to add to the music and spectacle, mesmerizing his audience and evoking laughter hard enough to bring on tears.
