Synopsis

"The Will Rogers Follies is a show about Will Rogers — a unique American, who, though he died in 1935, remains a beloved figure remembered for his humor, his wisdom, and his just plain common sense.

At the heart of his populist philosophy was his most famous statement: ‘I never met a man I didn't like.’ Rogers became the biggest, most popular, and highest paid star of every existing medium of his time — stage, screen, radio, newspapers, and public appearances.

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he was the greatest star this country has ever produced."

— Peter Stone, 1994.

The show's buoyant score by Cy Coleman, with lyrics by Comden & Green, includes “Will-a-Mania,” “Our Favorite Son,” “My Unknown Someone” and “Give A Man Enough Rope.”
