Quotes & Highlights

  • Winner of the Bay Area Theater Critics Circle Award
  • Now in its 4th 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
