"Ze Revival!": By Popular Demand, "Ze Follies Dorée" Returns to French New York!

New York, NY – 3/20/2024  – Following a sold out run earlier this year at AMT Theater, the raucous and unforgettable "Ze Follies Dorée" is back! Due to overwhelming popular demand, prepare to once again immerse yourself in the delightfully absurd world of "Ze Revival," a limited engagement running from May 23rd to May 25th.

"Ze Revival!" brings back the beloved "Ze Follies Dorée," the musical-sketch-comedy extravaganza crafted by the brilliant minds of Karl Amundson and Tom Meglio. This return engagement promises to deliver the same high-energy, side-splitting entertainment that captivated audiences before. Expect a whirlwind of dance, song, and sketch comedy, all inspired by the spirit of the Moulin Rouge (minus ze budget), Vaudeville (without ze racism), and Broadway (sans ze Clintons!).

"We were absolutely thrilled by the incredible response to our initial run," says Executive Producer Kerri Mandelbaum. "The demand was so high that we knew we had to bring 'Ze Follies Dorée' back for another round of chaos and hilarity. 'Ze Revival!' is our way of giving the audience what they want: more drunken divas, dancing chickens, and endless encores!"

"Ze Revival" will once again take audiences on a journey through the fictional, century-spanning history of this iconic act. From its humble beginnings in the 1920s to its chaotic triumphs through various eras, every bit of the duo's "dirty laundry" is laid bare. Witness the rise, fall, and resurrection of "Ze Follies Dorée" as Karl Amundson and Tom Meglio reunite to share their over-inflated egos and undeniable talent.

Don your finest feathers and prepare for a night of unbridled bacchanalia. "Ze Revival!" promises surprises, dirty jokes, and an experience you won't soon forget. Oui promise!
