Pulitzer Prize finalist play Becky Shaw is a wickedly funny comedy about a blind date gone bad. When a newly married couple fixes up two romantically challenged friends, crisis and comedy ensue. From their first blind date, which includes an unscheduled visit to the police station, this couple, along with the newlyweds who set them up, surprise audiences -- and themselves -- in this comedy thriller. A smash hit in its New York run, Becky Shaw was written by Law & Order writer/producer Gina Gionfriddo. For the play's regional premiere, SF Playhouse Associate Artistic Director Amy Glazer directs Brian Robert Burns, Lee Dolson, Lorri Holt, Liz Sklar and Lauren English in the title role. Learn More

goodbers
really appreciated their attempt to perform this lavish musical in a small theater, but i found the tight space just too constraining. the dance numbers were visibly squished and doubling the actors for the orchestra seemed to compromise both the acting and the music. a brave and respectable showing but would not recommend.Written on Jul 04 2008

Simply fantastic ! The actors,sets,choreography,music,costumes,staging.........I can't find one fault. Beautifully dark and smolderingly sexual; ah,it couldn't last. It will make you think of how little as a whole the human race has advanced in their treatment of eachother: the present is still repeating the past.Written on Jun 26 2008
I'll definitely go again.

Cabaret performed as it should be!Written on Aug 20 2008
The obvious effort put into the ambiance of this production was much appreciated. We had seats at one of the front row bistro tables, ordered up a bottle of wine and enjoyed every minute of this extremely intimate production. Any closer to the actors and you'd have to introduce yourself... but it doesn't take away from the show at all - as it easily could.
Probably some of the best theater I've seen in San Fran since I moved here a couple years ago.

The play was fantastic. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars was because we were in the last row and the seats were squeezed in leading me to compare it to an airplane coach seat. It was also very hot up there which unfortunately took away from my enjoyment of the show.Written on Sep 22 2008

Description
Book by Joe Masteroff
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Music by John Kander
Directed by Bill English
“What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play!” John Kander and Fred Ebb’s legendary landmark musical turns Weimar Berlin of 1931 into a dark and sexually charged haven of decadence where its extraordinary and morally ambiguous inhabitants are determined to keep up appearances as the real world-outside the comfortable sanctuary of the cabaret- prepares for the nightmarish chaos of war. It is here that Sally Bowles performs nightly at the infamous Kit-Kat Klub in “a shimmering masterpiece of a show guaranteed night after night. Its divine decadence darling!”
