Broadway Wicked in SF - opinions
We (me and hubby) will be in San Francisco in August and Wicked will be playing there. Is it worth it? WeŽll only have one night free for a show. Any other ideas? (have already seen Stomp).

I know Broadway is not SF. What I tried to ask, in few words, was that Wicked musical actually playing in Broadway will be in San Francisco in August and what are the revews about it.

I think what FainaAgain was trying to see is that in San Francisco you might want to do something that is uniquely San Francisco rather than a Broadway musical. Beach Blanket Babylon has been playing for something like 20 years or more there and is a fun institution that is unique to the city.
It's a sort of musical revue and spoof. Snow White goes in search of adventure and looking for true love (and sex of course, despite her innocence). Most of the songs are familiar ones from the 50's to the present, many performed with new lyrics or new "meanings". You will also meet the Clintons, Tina Turner, Monica Lewinsky -- well just about anybody they can make a joke out of.

Oh, and when you go to the website, don't fail to click the button that says "Current in the Show" for a taste of the current ones. I just looked -- Kirstie Alley in Fat Actress, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Desparate Housewives, John and Theresa "Heinz" Kerry (she's dressed as the ketchup bottle), and Condalezza Rice-a-Roni. Trust me, it's a riot.
