Perfectly playable, and it should take your booked-up opponent completely out of his book.
The Classical Sicilian is really good, I find that Black can get a really good position against any Sixth move but Bg5 (The Rauzer) and many times he can transpose to the Dragon without risking to enter the Yugoslav Attack! If White chooses to play the Rauzer Black can get an hard game but very few people have a preparation against the Classical, out of 20 games with the Classical Sicilian I've played, no one went for the Rauzer!
You could try Owen's Defense instead of the Sicilian, or Sicilian Katalimov variation

Anyone recommend 1...d5 yet?
