I have friends coming and would love to introduce them to it. The only one I know is at the tea houses (eg, Lao She but I wasn't all that impressed with the rest of the show (or the snacks); I only liked the bian lian.). I know Ba Guo Buyi has a 10-15 minute show in the evening. I also understand that Xu(?) Guo Buyi has a nightly show (but I'm not sure what kind of restaurant that is). Comments? Other suggestions?

I have posted a video I took at BGBY a few months ago here if you want to see it. http://shuanglong.blogspot.com/2007/05/sichuan-face-changing_10.html Tue Jul 10 04:46:03 -0700 2007 2723610 10106 James G 1 2879113 I haven't been to Beijing in decades but i'm surprised that the sichuan opera technique is even performed in Beijing. Are the shows in beijing performed in the context of sichuan opera? Fri Aug 24 15:57:00 -0700 2007 2723610 10366 Jerome
