Teatro ZinZanni presents a colossal epic of music, laughter, romance, desire, and dinner when a resurrected Cleopatra sets her sights on a fast-talking, wise-cracking chef named Caesar. ZinZanni's risqué new romp through Egyptian history Hail Caesar! opens August 19 at Pier 29 in the Embarcadero.
The show features irrepressible impressionist Frank Ferrante as Caesar and introduces acclaimed actress, musician, aerialist, and choreographer Dreya Weber as Cleopatra. Martha Davis, chanteuse of The Motels will provide her original compositions.
The show is presented in a gorgeous antique setting the Spiegeltent, imported from Belgium and nicknamed the Palais Nostalgique, that boasts stained glass, hand-carved wooden interior columns, polished crystal and mirrors, for ten years a permanent fixture and an integral part of the lively entertainment and culinary scene in San Francisco. It offers a bewitching blend of European cabaret, cirque arts like a vertical tango, music, and comedy, combined with a five-course gourmet dinner. The performers are likely to come to your table.
Hail Caesar! plays August 19 (through October 31) at Pier 29 on the Embarcadero (at Battery Street), San Francisco. The regular schedule runs Wednesday through Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. Tickets ($117 to $145; includes dinner) are available at the on-site Box Office weekdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and weekends from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., online at www.lovezinzanni.org or by phone at 415/438-2668.
