I find it hard to put into words how fantastic this show is. It is definitely a must see when you are in San Francisco. We are leaving for home, Australia, today and a friend over here booked us in to see this show. I had no idea what to expect. It ran for 90 minutes non stop. The costumes,...

I was visiting my old hometown of San Francisco and had the opportunity to see BBB again for maybe the 3 or 4th time and it's still just a laugh a minute hilarious. Very topical and funny. The costumes are great. Fun and lively 90 minute romp!

This was definitely one of the highlights of our San Francisco trip. We laughed from start to finish. The costumes and hats were totally amazing. The actors were fantastic. Don't worry if you are not from America, you will still love this show. Unfortunately, no photographs were allowed.

Whow what a show. Was not expecting this. SLICK MAYHEM is as good a description as I can think of. Topical, musical comedy. Performed by some very talented people. Wacky tunes with even wackier costumes. Supersize wigs to the extreme. Found this by accident, don't yous. GO BOOK IT. Great couple of hours.

This small informal theater takes the sting out of everyday culture issues and makes you laugh at the issues at hand. I am sure that the writers have a glass of wine or two as they keep the plot up to date with current events, while presenting them in a musical comedy. The outfits of the singers are outrageously funny...

As per every other review here, awesome costumes, great singers, no script, dated jokes, not funny. The show is like the famous sports star that should have retired at the height of his/her career but keeps coming back for more, and just can't stay out of the limelight. Some parts were funny, and perhaps it could be resurrected with some...

I booked the tickets for this online before flying to San Francisco and took in a 6pm show on Saturday. It was great fun-filled satirical musical comedy on current affairs and pop culture.
