San Francisco's Iconic Beach Blanket Babylon Announces Final Performance

Tuesday, December 31, 2019.

That's when San Francisco's iconic Beach Blanket Babylon will give its final performance, ending a 45-year run, producer Jo Schuman Silver announced Wednesday.

"Audiences have embraced Beach Blanket Babylon since the day it opened on June 7, 1974," Schuman Silver said in a statement. "Originally scheduled to run for only six weeks, the show became an international phenomenon and the quintessential San Francisco experience. I am thankful to our fans from around the world who have supported us from the very beginning. Our hats are off to each and every one of you!"

The pop-culture musical revue has had more than 17,000 performances and has been seen by 6.5 million patrons.
