The Gold Fever Follies!
A Historic Extravaganza! Enjoy a historical musical theatre show based on the gold rush days of the 1890s
In 1987, a small group of theater enthusiasts, headed by Ray Furlotte, started a musical revue based on Rossland history. The show was embellished with local lore, old time tunes and real Cancan dancers from the Boomtown Garter Girls. Three decades later, the Rossland Gold Fever Follies, headed by local resident and current Follies President Lisa Henderson, are still going strong with original stories from Rossland’s rich gold mining history. While artistic license is often used, many of the characters are based on real people from Rossland’s past. Such characters have included Judge Begbie, Father Pat, the Hunter Brothers, Olas Jeldness, Big John Kirkup and a whole host of others.
