Host Luisa Lyons chats with Nicole Holst, producer of The Zeigfeld Girls Revue, a new cabaret celebrating the stories of the original Follies girls including Mae Murray, Olive Thomas, Louise Brooks, Julie Newmar, and Fanny Brice.

Which Follies girl still haunts the New Amsterdam Theatre? Are any of the Follies girls still alive? What cultural trends did they start? In this delightful chat, dive into the making of the show, and hear some of the stories behind the featured women, and the performers who will be portraying them!

The Ziegfeld Girls Revue will be livestreamed from NYC's The Green Room 42 on April 13, 2024.
