Esther's Follies is a modern day vaudeville theatre located on 6th Street in downtown Austin, Texas. The group is named after actress Esther Williams.[1] Acts incorporate magic, juggling, singing, dancing, and sketches on current events. The show is fast paced, and most of the acts incorporate a comedic theme.
The show lasts about one and a half hours with a short intermission, and runs every weekend evening from Thursday to Saturday. 2007 marked Esther's Follies' 30th anniversary of performances. The cast has changed significantly since its inception but still includes the founders, Michael Shelton and Shannon Sedwick, who continue to make appearances during the show.
