SceneSAN FRANCISCO — It was summer 1974, and a one-time street performer produced a comedy show in the back room of a club — a perfect antidote to the grimness of Watergate and the Vietnam War. Tickets were $2.50 each, and everyone was hoping for a six-week run.
That was 35 years ago.Today, "Beach Blanket Babylon" is a San Francisco institution. Tickets go as high as $80, which hasn't stopped this kitschy homage to pop culture from selling out eight shows a week at the 400-seat Club Fugazi, where it's billed as the longest-running musical revue in the country.
