Varla Jean Merman
onstage in S.F., December 7–16

Audiences have become enchanted by the porcelain skin, cinnamon locks, and incredibly lifelike facial features of Miss Varla Jean. In her all-new show, VarlaJean Merman Is Anatomically Incorrect, you are invited to take a fantastic voyage and root around the body of this legendary singer-actress-petty criminal. Get under Varla's skin with a trunkful of anatomically incorrect new videos, hilarious songs that stretch her throat to the limit, and a few less-than-vital organs.

This comedy-cabaret show is directed by Michael Schiralli and will run for six performances, December 7-16, Thursday through Saturday nights at 8 p.m. at the Victoria Theatre, 2961 16th St., San Francisco. For information call (415) 863-7576. To order advance tickets online for $20, visit the Victoria Theatre.
