Hollywood Babylon
The Cockettes in Hollywood Babylon


 
An epic debauchery as Hollywood comes to North Beach. A klieg light and red carpet opening for the Cockettes, who inspired by Kenneth Anger's book Hollywood Babylon , bring the sleazy side of Hollywood to the Palace Theatre stage. The sold-out gala performance features stars from Pola Negri to Gypsy Rose Lee, and features dazzling, choreographed production numbers which culminate in a salute to Gene Autry and Dale Evans.
