A great show to take your out-of-town guests to. And it's only 70 minutes long so you can still make dinner and cocktails afterwards!

Weak cast. Some cute skits but most seem dated.

This musical was VERY entertaining! The theater was small (about 60 seats) and old, but the production was great and we would definitely return to see another play there. It was a great evening!

Event Highlights

  • Winner of the Bay Area Theater Critics Circle Award
  • Now in its 3nd year!
  • "A cartful of laughter!" --San Francisco Chronicle
  • "Infectious, irreverent humor! A clever collection of tunes - songs that bring to mind Jerry Seinfeld's sharp observations on mundane modern life." --SF Weekly
  • "Shopping for frothy fun? Here's a musical for you!  Bobrow has picked an excellent quartet to deliver the message.  They handle Bobrow's slyly funny lyrics well and exude personalities that are immediately likeable. The more you shop, the more you will enjoy Shopping!" --Contra Costa Times
  • "Shopping! The Musical is the perfect pastiche for the out-of-towner and resident alike after a long day at Union Square.  Bobrow utilizes words in a truly amazing way, combining internal and external concepts about reality in a way that amuses, cajoles, and yes, often astounds.  Shopping! The Musical is GREAT!" --San Francisco Bay Times
  • "Hilarious! Side-splitting! Clever and sparkling!Performed by four very talented singers who know how to put a song over. Shopping! The Musical reminds me of those wonderful little revues that used to occur down in the Village in New York or the great Billy Barnes shows in Los Angeles. Everyone who sees the revue will identify with some aspect of shopping. His songs remind me of musical satirist Tom Lehrer. Even the props are uproarious!" --Talkin' Broadway
