Follies Turns Back Time With Motown and Beatle Magic
A Cedar Rapids evening review of Follies at the Paramount Theatre celebrates a boomer era revival with feathered fashions five decades past. Damon Cole’s orchestra shines in Motown medley while Gene Whiteman and a cast of about 100 Eastern Iowans deliver lively act after act. The Beatles medley draws strong praise as the production recreates the 50s and 60s with dazzling lighting and retro choreography.
