BASIN STREET FOLLIES CELEBRATES JULY 4TH  

HOLIDAY WITH ROUSING PERFORMANCES 


Atlantic City, NJ --- Basin Street Follies kicks off the American Independence
Holiday with a rousing July 4th Celebration showcasing a group of talented,
energetic performers.

The fast-paced revue, at the Mardi Gras Showroom, continues from July 3 
through August 5.

Heading the list of performers is a long-time Showboat favorite, Bobby Arvon,
still captivating audiences singing old favorites and his original songs.
Arvon, of course, is best known for the popular theme song of the television
hit, "Happy Days."

Another audience favorite is The Great Tomsoni & Co., who combine a blend of
off-beat comedy and bafflinf magic, delighting critics from coast to coast.

Singer Lori Dobson has a distinctive vocal style that cuts right to the
heart of the lyric and listener. Lori has a repertoire that ranges from swing
to contemporary rhythm and blues.

Rounding out the cast is handsome comedian Dan Wilson, making his Showboat
debut. Wilson has performed on a score of television shows and in the top
comedy clubs across the country.

Performances of Basin Street Follies are at 8:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.,
