    The violently funny, perpetually soused duo Kiki and Herb: Alive From Broadway takes San Francisco this summer. No one is safe from the biting tongue of the ungracefully aging "boozy chanteusie," Kiki, and her long-suffering accompanist, Herb, in the celebrated lounge act that sold out Carnegie Hall and brought Broadway to its knees. Rowdily reinterpreting music from Scissor Sisters, The Cure, Public Enemy, and more, Kiki and Herb "blur the line of incoherent and brilliant." (Village Voice)

    David Mamet's November at American Conservatory Theater

    Full Price:
    $22.00 - $67.00
    Our Price:
    $12.00 - $34.50

    Fresh from Broadway, Mamet's new comedy November takes a satirical stab at American politics. President Charles Smith, the most corrupt buffoon ever to sit in the Oval Office, is in the final days of his bid for re-election, but the country is a mess and his poll numbers are low. Toss in a lesbian speechwriter longing to marry her sweetheart on TV, Thanksgiving turkeys awaiting pardon, and a ton of shady back-room scheming and you've got Mamet's latest. Learn More

    Not satisfied simply doing endless versions of cabaret standards, Kiki & Herb display their unique musical prowess reinventing popular songs by great 20th- and 21st-century artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Joni Mitchell, Styx, Pat Benatar, Radiohead, Nirvana, Bonnie Tyler, and Britney Spears. Kiki DuRane is a brash, boozy, septuagenarian chanteuse. She's never much cared what other people think, but she's always willing to say what she thinks. Onstage with her stalwart accompanist and only living friend Herb, Kiki somehow stumbles her way through a selection of songs, punctuated by political rants, searching social commentary, and recollections of a lifetime filled with unforgettable memories.
