Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon is the world's longest-running musical revue. Since 1974, this San Francisco institution has followed Snow White on a musical comedy quest around the world, where she runs into satirically portrayed pop-culture and political celebrities, an impressive array of gigantic hats and one show-stopping musical number after another. Because the show is constantly updated with new costumes, hats and characters, it rewards repeat visits. Among the familiar faces you might see spoofed in Beach Blanket's latest incarnation: Lady Gaga, Barack and Michelle Obama, the cast of Glee, Kate Middleton and Adele. Even after nearly 40 years, Beach Blanket Babylon remains one of San Francisco's wildest evenings of live entertainment. Learn More

Written on Jun 08 2009Eh, lots of talent clearly, but the humor was just so so.. I know, what did I expect, it is a parody of jerry springer, one of the most depressing and low brow talk shows ever to grace the airwaves.

Written on Jun 01 2009The first half is painful and overly crass - like the Jerry Springer show. The second half was less painful, more philosophical, and, in a strange way, humanized the whole "Jerry Springer" experience. Both halves featured fantastic singing and, though minimal, terrific dancing.

Written on May 29 2009It certainly had its "Jerry Springer moments." There were a lot of good laughs, many just from the "unseemly" justaposition of operatic singing and potty-mouth lyrics. The fun and shock value of these got old quickly, however, and I succumbed to boredom before too long. The second half was, in my opinion, better than the first, but to say more I'd give away the plot.

- "Brassy, offensive, and hilarious... and I wouldn’t have it any other way." --Boston Herald
- "One of the most refreshingly original and genuinely funny theatrical productions of the young 21st century." --Quincy Patriot Ledger
