About This Show
Veronica Klaus is a San Francisco performance icon. Since 1989 she has ben a featured artist in Concerts, Theatre, and Cabarets. While this, combined with her glamorous personae would be enough, there is the added detail of her transformation from Midwestern small-town schoolboy to Bay Area Diva. A personal revolution from “husky” boy to “voluptuous” chanteuse is a story worth telling.
Family Jewels is the comprehensive account of Veronica’s life adventure. Largely untold until now, the performance uses story and song to illustrate the humor, passion and human drama of her unique story.
The music is made up of selections of original pieces, written by Veronica and various covers of songs that augment the aspects of the material at hand. The music and monologues are woven together, giving the play an emotionally “layered” effect.
