Sounds nutty. Weird review though as it doesn't say where it is, I had to Google - it is at a venue called the Independent.  I'll keep an eye out as the website says more dates may be added.  I'll be in San Fran for a long weekend in a couple weeks.  Pretty booked up, but have Sunday evening free.

Last weekend snagged a ticket, based on a review on Talking Broadway, for a drag parody show called Jurassic Parq at gay bar Oasis.

When I booked the weekend I didn't realize it was the same one as the big shindig at the Hollywood Bowl,   otherwise I may have been tempted to go to LA instead.  But San Francisco is nice as there's no need to rent a car.

it’s kind of funny because they keep referring to it as a sold out run. it is taking place in a black box theater which seats about 40 people.

Must be a pretty amateur production.  They added a Wednesday performance,  August 6 - nothing on the weekend. So guess I'm skipping this.  Probably for the best.  As a foreign national I probably shouldn't attend something that could be misconstrued as supporting a terrorist.   I don't want to get accidentally arrested by ICE.

I've been working lots of overtime this Summer & staying inside the office to make sure I don't get a hint of a tan & stay pasty white.  Everyone here tells me I should be afraid for my life traveling San Francisco in 2025. I definitely won't wear a Canadian tuxedo.  Hard to believe only 24 years ago our national clothing was the height of fashion. Now it might get me locked up in a secret prison.

We saw this a few weeks ago. The cast was almost uniformly terrible, but we had a really good time. The songs were funny and the cast certainly was putting in their all.
