4.8 by 30 members

Man of La Mancha, the Tony-winning musical that spawned one of the most famous and often-recorded songs of the 20th century -- "The Impossible Dream" -- is Light Opera Works' latest show. From Robert Goulet, Frank Sinatra and Liberace to Elvis, Luther Vandross and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Don Quixote's musical declaration of the unstoppable human spirit has inspired generations, as has the show itself. Set in the late 16th century, the author Miguel Cervantes awaits his hearing in the Spanish Inquisition and responds to a challenge from his fellow prisoners to re-enact his not-yet-famed story of the mad knight who lives in a romantic world of his own imagination. Six-time Jefferson Award-winner James Harms stars.

Beach Blanket Babylon: Long-Running Musical Comedy Revue at Club Fugazi

Full Price:: $53.00
Our Price:: $26.50

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

This show has closed. However it was well done in every way. The acting and singing were superb. The sets and orchestra perfect. Our seats were excellent and it was a wonderful night at the theater which we might have missed had we not heard about half priced tickets from Goldstar.
