Beach Blanket Babylon, San Francisco’s very own cabaret show, is still going strong at 34 years. The SF Chronicle took a look at their audition process, which is thankfully not (yet) another reality TV series. 59 hopefuls belted their show tunes and pop numbers, attempting to adapt quickly when directed to be a tired Liza Minnelli, Elvis, Richard Simmons, Barbra Streisand (with crossed eyes). The group is eventually cut to nine who will be called back for a round involving the gigantic hats and wigs that are the show’s trademark.
