Thrillpeddlers is pleased to announce that soon after its record-breaking 22 month run on the award-winning production of PEARLS Over SHANGHAI, and soon after its sold-out performances of VICE PALACE and SHOCKTOBERFEST: Fear Over FRISCO, they're remounting composer Scrumbly Koldewyn's revival from the 1972 Musical revue extravaganza VICE PALACE: The Final Cockettes Musical in the Hypnodrome Theatre Jan. 27 - March 3, 2012 at 8:00 pm. Using a book by Martin Worman and music composed by Scrumbly Koldewyn, the show was initially performed by The Cockettes in the course of Halloween 1972 in the Palace Theatre in North Beach. This revival has been extensively revised by Koldewyn with additional material that initially appeared in past Cockettes productions. Don't miss the likelihood to find out The Cockette's notoriously gorgeous, wanton and bizarre spectacle in it's restricted run of only
12 performances! Thrillpeddlers' Hypnodrome Theatre is located at 575 10th St, in SF 94103. (Bryant & Division Sts.) Tickets $30 gen. admission or $35 for 'Shock Boxes' and 'Turkish Lounges**' and are available at

Fresh from performances at Lincoln Center and the HOWL Festival in NYC (Oct. 2011), Thrillpeddlers original VICE PALACE cast returns to San Francisco with their smash hit revival, VICE PALACE: The Final Cockettes Musical. This musical mind trip imagines Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque in the Red Death" as viewed through the lens of Frederico Fellini, and topped off with truly outrageous costumes, wigs and spectacular gender-bending drag ensemble performances. VICE PALACE follows Divina (played by drag-king star, Leigh Crow), an eccentric socialite who spares no expense to keep her jet-set party guests entertained, while the villagers just beyond the walls of her lavish estate are ravaged by the plague. Each performance must top the next in this bizarre race to escape the one uninvited party guest death! - and look fabulous as they do it.
Originally produced as a 'Nocturnal Dream Show' and performed at midnight at the old Palace Theatre in North Beach on Halloween 1972, Vice palace starred the inimitable Divine and cult star Mink Stole (best known as stars of director John Waters' films), VICE PALACE was written by Martin Worman & Scrumbly Koldewyn, original members in the pioneering, gender-bending performance troupe, The Cockettes. Russell Blackwood, founding member and visionary behind Thrillpeddlers and master on the macabre, directs a cast of San Francisco's most extravagant underground drag performers and divas. VICE PALACE was the fabled and fabulous Cockettes' final stage presentation.

The Cockettes were a gender-bending theatrical troupe who not only originated these outrageous shows, but also exerted a profound influence on the culture of our times, from the phenomenon of midnight movies, to glitter rock stars and their outrageous fashions.

VICE PALACE: The Final Cockettes Musical is directed by Russell Blackwood, and original Cockette and composer Scrumbly Koldewyn is the Musical Director. Flynn DeMarco is the Associate director. Scenery by James Blackwood, costumes by K??ra Emry, lights by Nicholas Torre, sound by Chris Paulina, and make up coordinator Kegel Kater.
