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

star this review starred report as inappropriateAmazing story and script ( someone did a lot homework ), the actors
were right on, didn't miss a que. Very enjoyable, I had a good time. Only thing is- play was long.
star this review starred report as inappropriateA complicated production with a big cast, and every part was performed excellently. The characters were well defined and entertaining, and there was plenty of thought-provoking dialog. If you like court-room drama, existential philosophy and a dollop of humor, this is well worth it.

Quotes & Highlights
- " The Last Days of Judas Iscariot shares many of the traits that have made Mr. Guirgis a playwright to reckon with in recent years: a fierce and questing mind that refuses to settle for glib answers, a gift for identifying with life's losers and an unforced eloquence that finds the poetry in lowdown street talk…Mr. Guirgis is a zealous and empathic researcher, and he presents dilemmas of ancient Galilee in terms winningly accessible to the twenty-first century..." --The New York Times
