What to Expect at a Show :

THE FOLLIES GIRLS SIGNATURE SHOWS
At our four big matinee shows each year, we bring you a ton of song and dance numbers, fabulous solos and loads of fun. These shows feature our ENTIRE cast of characters and feature performers of various levels, and as always in all ages and stages of life. We are Knoxville’s Unique Showgirls and Dancin’ Dames…and we’re totally fine being the imperfect Rockettes with a sexier and sassier side.

THE FOLLIES GIRLS present NIGHTCAP
Our intimate five times a year burlesque speakeasy experience is a bawdy romp full of fun and performances that will make you hoot, holler and sweat! These shows feature more solo performances and feature the art of burlesque striptease which has a rich history in America, Europe and frankly stretches back way farther than you’d expect. TICKETS for these shows sell out fast due to the intimate venue and experience and feature an early show and late show.
