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.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(625x299:627x301):format(webp)/justin-timberlake-1-2000-e55cddb042b34f3daaf34a96380ae1f9.jpg)

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.

I would see it. So much of US theater is developed in one of the slowest digestive systems in the universe. At the moment we're still watching material that was brainstormed during the Biden administration. The greatest advantage of cabaret/revue style productions is that they can play with recent events.
