Bunnies! Eggs! Phallic Objects! Rebirth! Spring!
The Cockettes are back with Res-Erection at Oasis SF located at 298 Eleventh Street, SF on Thursday, March 23, Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25 at 7pm.
Tickets are $40-$60 at sfoasis.com.
As the chilly winter gives way to spring, there is a feeling in the air, a need for rebirth and everything it takes to get there-fauna blooming, bunnies and chickies being born and giant phallic objects rising into the air needing to be worshiped.
The legendary Cockettes give the Rites of Spring their own unique twist as original Cockette Scrumbly Koldewyn brings you Res-Erection, a colorful musical revue featuring new songs and classic Cockettes numbers inspired by the changing season, bunnies, love and lust.
Prepare for a night of Cockettes musical mayhem featuring Birdie Bob Watt, Bonni Suval, Carl Linkhart, Christian Heppinstall, Kitten on the Keys, Matt Bratko, Noah Haydon, Steven Satyricon, Jordan "Sunshine" Bontrager and more.
Cockettes Res-Erection will be such an amazing Spring Awakening, it may even raise the dead!
COCKETTES:In 1969, The Cockettes debuted at the Palace Theater in San Francisco with their midnight sensation, the Nocturnal Dream Show starring a genderbending, glitter-encrusted, drug-induced theater troupe who took drag and old Hollywood musicals and turned them inside out and upside down, attracting the attention of the American underground culture.
The Cockette's sprawling, kaleidoscopic pantheon of colorful personalities included icons including: Hibiscus and Sylvester, and was often augmented by special guests, most notably drag superstars Divine and Mink Stole. The Cockettes were ahead of their time, especially in accepting gender fluidity and glittered beards, and they changed the face of drag forever.
Although the Cockettes disbanded in 1972, its many members kept the group's spirit alive; in 2009, a theater troupe called the Thrillpeddlers helmed by Russell Blackwood revived a legendary Cockettes show called Pearls Over Shanghai to much acclaim and a long 22-month run.
Playing on the interest already garnered by David Weissman & Bill Weber's The Cockettes documentary released in 2002, interest in this troupe was reawakened and entertained an entirely new & appreciative audience.
Over the next decade, The Thrillpeddlers continued recreating Cockette shows under the watchful eye of the original songwriter and Cockette Scrumbly Koldewyn.
In 2020, they celebrated their golden anniversary with an epic, sold-out event featuring many of their classic numbers and a special appearance by cult film icon John Waters at the Victoria Theatre in San Francisco.
Producer Dan Karkoska, Assistant Director Birdie Bob Watt, and Scrumbly Koldewyn continue to spread the word about the Cockettes with new shows in both San Francisco and Oakland in 2022 with plans for San Francisco, New York City and beyond in 2023.
It's time the world knows about the Cockettes, Scrumbly Koldewyn and their musical legacy.
