The nanny Live!

The Nanny Live written and directed by Michael Phillis debuted on November 4, 2024 at Oasis.

The gentle, sassy PG-style humor of the beloved 1990s sitcom “The Nanny” transforms into an R-rated riot in the “The Nanny Live!” parody onstage at Oasis, San Francisco’s premiere drag club.

From the same folks who created hilarious sendups of “Sex and the City,” “Star Trek” and more, “The Nanny Live!,” onstage through Nov. 30, features uniformly terrific drag artists as the iconic characters in the New York-set show about a Jewish fashionista from Queens who gets a gig tending to a posh British theater producer’s three kids.

Club Oasis, San Francisco’s premiere drag and cabaret theater showcases the best of Bay Area’s queer community’s talent, from fresh performers to campy remakes of pop culture and TV shows (their recent Rocky Horror was a hoot). The latest sitcom to be spoofed by the talented Oasis team of performers is The Nanny. the CBS sitcom (1993-1999) featuring Fran Drescher as “Fran Fine”, the flashy Jewish girl from Flushing New York who lands a job as a nanny for wealthy Broadway Producer, Maxwell Sheffield, a widower with three young children. Fran is no ordinary nanny. She’s brassy, flashy and a breath of fresh air to the Sheffield family and staff. For the first five seasons the audience was teased with the “Will they or won’t they” sexual tension between Fran and Maxwell; by the sixth and final season they are happily married.
