Liberace & Liza tribute takes over San Francisco this weekend

Liberace and Liza Minnelli have descended on San Francisco … or at least their biggest fans have.

Catch up quick: "Liberace & Liza: A Love Letter to San Francisco and Sequins" is playing at Feinstein's at the Nikko in Union Square this weekend.

Dig deeper: The show stars classically trained pianist David Saffert and singer and comedian Jillian Snow, channeling their inner divas. Part comedy show, part lounge act, it imagines a fictional friendship between Liberace and Liza Minnelli as they sing their way through the torch song classics.

What they're saying: "We're absolutely thrilled by how SF has embraced this over-the-top spectacle we bring to town," said Snow. "Our audiences often come dressed in sequins and fabulous jewelry and we love it because it means they really want to live in our world for a bit."

• "We truly feel like San Francisco has become our home away from home," she added.

Claire's thought bubble: I had the pleasure of seeing "Liberace & Liza" during their residency at Feinstein's last year and it was like a Vegas fever dream come true.

• Saffert is virtuosic on the piano and Snow absolutely was Liza with a Z, down to the perfect wide-eyed blinks and slurred sibilants.
