"Absolutely San Francisco" in a nutshell:

No Wild Hats! In this musical revue, an ex-hippie billionaire, a homeless woman in love with Gavin Newsom, a newly divorced gay wine merchant and a Chinese-immigrant souvenir seller -- mysteriously stuck on a broken down, fogged-in cable car -- take a lyrical trip through their San Francisco Dreams.
