Beach Blanket Babylon!
Lastnight a whole crew of us Bloggers got to go see Beach Blanket Babylon! (Thanks Kevin!) I invited Aubrey as my +1 & we made reservations at The House to catch up, eat a yummy dinner & have a glass of wine before the show. Fun!I had actually seen the show about 6 or 7 years ago, but was looking forward to seeing it again, because I knew they'd have updated it to reflect current events & pop culture references... and boy did they! It's an understatement to say they've got a little of everything in this show. There were references that ranged from old news (Michael Jackson, N*SYNC & Brittany Spears, etc) to the very latest hot topics like iPods, Paris Hilton, Desperate Housewives and Devil Wears Prada. You never knew what would come out next, and the most entertaining part is how the hats & wigs just seem to get bigger & bigger as the show goes on! That's gotta be a fun job. :)
All in all it is an over the top, campy, slap-on-the-knee type of show that keeps you entertained from the moment you sit down, and even evokes the occasional "oh my!" from the occasional lewd reference. The performers put their all into it & the audience absolutely loved it... especially the 3 girls behind us - they were cracking up!
This show is a do not miss for your out of town guests or family visiting. Or even just something different for you & a date, especially considering it's a great reason to enjoy some yummy food & wine in North Beach while you're at it! Oh, and speaking of wine, it's cabaret style, so you can drink the whole time while watching the show, too. Might explain while the girls behind us were having such a good time. haha.
I unfortunately couldn't stay for the tour, but it's been fun checking out everyone's photos with the cast on Flickr! Thanks again to Kevin & the Beach Blanket Babylon crew for having us!
