Tony Award winner will make debut as headliner of ....The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies''
....The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies,'' a nostalgic revue of the music, comedy and dance of the 1930s and 40s, is made up of a cast of 59- to 84-year- old chorus ....girls.''
This year's theme is ....Tin Pan Alley,'' celebrating the golden age of American popular music.
Moore started her career in 1967 with a role in the musical ....Hair'' and three years later won a Tony as best actress in a musical for her work in ....Purlie,'' making her the first black actress to do so.
She recorded a string of hits in the 1970s and 80s, including ....Yo Stepped Into My Life,'' ....This Is It'' and ....The Greatest Feeling,'' and also
landed film and television parts and returned to the stage in the mid-1990s to play the role of Fantine in ....Les Miserables.''
....Is there anything Ms. Moore cannot do? I don't think so,'' said Follies founder and impresario Riff Markowitz. ....She is precisely the sort of multi-talented entertainer that a classic Follies like ours requires, and we are honored to share her with Palm Springs audiences for the very first time.''
