Club Fugazi's claim to fame is Beach Blanket Babylon, a wacky musical send-up of San Francisco moods and mores that has been going strong since 1974, making it the longest-running musical revue anywhere. Although the choreography is colorful, the singers brassy, and the satirical songs witty, the real stars are the comically exotic costumes and famous ceiling-high "hats" -- which are worth the price of admission alone. The revue sells out as early as a month in advance, so order tickets as far ahead as possible. Those under 21 are admitted only to the Sunday matinee. If you don't shell out the extra $15-$20 for reserved seating, you won't have an assigned seat -- so get your cannoli to go and arrive at least 30 minutes prior to show time to get in line.
