Beach Blanket Babylon

A night out in North BeachOther Sponsors

Celebrating 26 Years in San Francisco.
Steve Silver's BEACH BLANKET BABYLON premiered at the Savoy Tivoli in San Francisco's North Beach, June, 1974. The show, a zany musical spoof of pop culture with extravagant costumes and outrageously huge hats, was immediately so popular that it moved to larger quarters at Club Fugazi, a North Beach landmark, where it eventually found a permanent home.
Now in its 26th year of sold-out performances, BEACH BLANKET BABYLON is an internationally acclaimed San Francisco institution. BEACH BLANKET BABYLON is the longest running, biggest hit musical revue in theatre history. In addition to the more than 8,000 performances in San Francisco, it has performed for wildly enthusiastic audiences during its London and Las Vegas engagements.
BEACH BLANKET BABYLON continually evolves in its hilarious parodies of popular icons, updating its spoofs and adding new characters, songs, and send- ups throughout the year. The show's traveling version performs regularly for conventions and private groups from Tampa Bay, Florida, to Kaanapali, Hawaii. Order tickets 415-421-4222. Be sure to enjoy all the restuarants and clubs in North Beach before or after the show.
