Showgirls! The Musical!

Victoria Theatre
2961 16th Street San Francisco

The 1995 movie Showgirls, written by Joe Eszterhas and directed by Paul Verhoeven, followed on the heels of their mega-successful thriller Basic Instinct and promised to make a star out of ingenue Elizabeth Berkley as innocent wannabe dancer Nomi Malone. Instead, the film crashed at the box office and stalled Berkley's career. But the legend of Showgirls flew like a phoenix from the ashes, spawning what so many epic flops do -- a cult classic that inspired Rocky Horror-esque midnight screenings. Now, Peaches Christ Productions brings Showgirls! The Musical! -- the hilarious show that dazzled New York -- to lascivious life on stage at the Victoria Theatre for its San Francisco premiere. This all-singing, all-dancing, all-thrusting adult parody starring April Kidwell and Peaches Christ is sure to be an utterly outrageous experience.
