We are pleased to announce that after our record-breaking 22 month run of the award-winning production of PEARLS OVER SHANGHAI, and after our sold-out performances of VICE PALACE and SHOCKTOBERFEST: FEAR OVER FRISCO, we are remounting composer Scrumbly Koldewyn’s revival of the 1972 Musical revue extravaganza VICE PALACE: The Last Cockettes Musical at the Hypnodrome Theatre Jan. 27 – March 3, 2012 at 8:00 pm.
With a book by Martin Worman and music composed by Scrumbly Koldewyn, the show was originally performed by The Cockettes during Halloween 1972 at the Palace Theatre in North Beach. This revival has been extensively revised by Koldewyn with additional material that originally appeared in past Cockettes productions. Don’t miss the chance to see The Cockette’s notoriously beautiful, wanton and bizarre spectacle in it’s limited run of only 12 performances!

Coming Up
Hot Greeks
A New Full-Length, Restored Version
We first mounted a condensed 70-minute version of Hot Greeks in Spring 2010 and it was an instant, sold-out hit.
Our new 2012 production expands the show to a full-length version and restores 2 songs from the original 1971 production. Scrumbly Koldewyn has also composed a new opening number inspired by the Greek hero myth, Ajax.
This will be a limited engagement of only twenty-one performances: March 22 – May 5, 2012 at the Hypnodrome.
Stay tuned for more info.
