Mu Performing Arts re-imagines the Tony Award-winner Into the Woods from the Asian American perspective. This irreverent Broadway show combines an award-winning score by Stephen Sondheim with a fun mash-up of the iconic stories of Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Jack and the Beanstalk. The familiar characters set out on the usual quests to break a witch's spell and make their wishes come true, but in this re-telling, "happily ever after" is not always what it seems. With a book from three-time Tony-winner James Lapine, Mu's production shines with Asian American influences in casting, costumes and staging.

Beach Blanket Babylon: Long-Running Musical Comedy Revue at Club Fugazi

Full Price:: $53.00
Our Price:: $26.50

Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon is the world's longest-running musical revue. Since 1974, this San Francisco institution has followed Snow White on a musical comedy quest around the world, where she runs into satirically portrayed pop-culture and political celebrities, an impressive array of gigantic hats and one show-stopping musical number after another. Because the show is constantly updated with new costumes, hats and characters, it rewards repeat visits. Among the familiar faces you might see spoofed in Beach Blanket's latest incarnation: Lady Gaga, Barack and Michelle Obama, the cast of Glee, Kate Middleton and Adele. Even after nearly 40 years, Beach Blanket Babylon remains one of San Francisco's wildest evenings of live entertainment. Learn More

A really wonderful, heartfelt and comical show. The actresses playing the Baker's Wife and Cinderella gave especially wonderful performances. I really hope Theatre Mu wins an Ivey for this one!
