I would love to give this event 10 Stars if I were to rate the show alone, however, to be fair to anyone thinking of going I have to be honest. The show WAS GREAT, 10, 12 stars! BUT and that's a GREAT BIG BUT, the treatment you get as a Goldstar Member is absolutely terrible. I heard this from a great many people who bought tickets through Goldstar. We were herded in like cattle and placed in the back of the theater in chairs so close together that I actually had sweat dripping down my legs from the gal next to me. I knew it was "rear cabaret" but the truth is, the actual show was so good that I would have paid the full price to be able to enjoy it. To be fair to Goldstar, the whole theater was so packed in that you didn't dare try to go to the bathroom at any time lest you were to make a whole row of people move out of the row to let you out. I think the venue absolutely overbooks. Many of the couples we spoke to would have paid double the price to see the wonderful show and have a little leg room and a little table. They had 2 or three little round tables for a whole row of around 40 people. No place to set your drink or valuables. Those of us in "rear cabaret" were even worse off than the general ticket holders. I personally couldn't see a thing. With so many people packed in there wasn't even room to peek between and around the heads in front of me. My advise...see the show...it's great but buy full price tickets, get there super early because they seat you row by row as you arrive...or super late as you will end up in the balcony which has unobstructed view. Better yet, pay full price, then demand to be put upstairs. I heard many people that complained got to go up. GO and try to enjoy it. The good thing is, there are so many people that the servers never get to you so you never feel like you have to have a drink. In fact, they totally ignore the rear cabaret.

Phenomenalicious!!!

I saw the show a few months ago and knew that they have the same "Snow White searching for her prince" story line, so I wasn't too excited to be going to see the same thing, again, even though I knew I would enjoy it. We were going as part of a bachelorette party, so, of course I went and the discount tickets were a bonus. Well, I was pleasantly surprised that the show had updated numbers to reflect more recent events, so, even though it was the same storyline, it was a different show and still just as much fun as the first time! Now I'm excited to take my husband and see it again. I think he would like it, even though he's not a theatre fan—it's so funny, I know even he will enjoy it!

Singing my way in San Francisco!

This was a really fun goofball social and political satire. A hoot!
Great for a group of friends. We loved it!
We got there 45min early to choose seats, but it wasn't necessary. Most of the cheap seats would be fine and there was plenty of room on a Saturday night.

More Details About This Event:

Beach Blanket Babylon is a zany musical spoof of pop culture, world-renowned for its extravagant costumes, huge hats and biting satire. With more than 30 years of sold-out performances in its hip pocket, Beach Blanket Babylon is an internationally acclaimed San Francisco institution.

Even if you've seen it before, you need to see it again because the evolving storyline means no two productions are the same.

Sunday matinee shows are "all ages."
