 Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon is a cabaret show based in San Francisco. As of 2006, it has sold out every performance for 32 years, with close to 12,000 performances and a combined audience of nearly five million. This makes it the longest running musical revue in history. To most, the show is known primarily for its gigantic hats, some in excess of 10 feet wide by 10 feet tall. The principal plot revolves around Snow White searching the world for "a Prince Charming" and features multiple spoofs of popular culture. These spoofs are continually updated by adding new songs and characters to the show. The show's popularity forced it to move to a larger venue at the Club Fugazi, where it eventually settled permanently, and has become a natural destination for both tourists and locals in San Francisco. Two tours have been produced, in London and Las Vegas, in celebration of Beach Blanket's 20th and 25th anniversaries; and a smaller touring cast caters primarily to corporate events and parties around the world.
