History
Christine Hamilton founded the “Geritol Follies” in 1974, which started with only a handful of chorus singers. She produced and directed the show, which grew into a cast of over 90 energetic senior citizens, until shortly before her death in 2001. As a charitable organization, The Geritol Follies continues today, performing twice yearly at the renowned Hamilton Place Theatre.
