Steve Silver’s Beach Blanket Babylon, the longest running musical revue in theatre history, is a zany musical spoof of pop culture with extravagant costumes and outrageously huge hats. With sold-out performances since 1974, Beach Blanket Babylon is an internationally acclaimed San Francisco institution. Beach Blanket Babylon continues to donate to the LGBT Community and
San Francisco in a huge and generous way. The 50th and 100th person to send me an email with Free BBB tix in the subject line will win a pair of tix to the Opening Holiday Show Wed. Nov 16. Please do not reply for tix unless you truly plan to use them.
The 2 winners will be notified by 10pm tonight. Good Luck!
