Inspired by the Folies Bergère of Paris, the Ziegfeld Follies
were conceived and mounted by
Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.,
reportedly at the suggestion of his then-wife, the actress
and singer
Anna Held. The shows’ producers were turn-
of-the-twentieth-century
producing titans Klaw and Erlanger.

The Follies were a series of lavish revues, something between
later Broadway shows and the more elaborate high class
vaudeville and variety show. The first follies, The Follies of
1907
, was produced that year at the Jardin de Paris roof
theatre.
