Singing an eclectic mix of Sondheim, Alanis Morisette, Kurt Weil and Donna Summer, Annaleigh Ashford will perform an energetic program that displays her clever sense of humor and emotional depth, and demonstrates the infinite possibilities of the cabaret genre. Tickets to Annaleigh Ashford in "Lost in the Stars," go on sale Thursday October 22.

This past spring, Ms. Ashford swept the awards season on Broadway, winning the Tony, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama Desk Awards for Best Featured Actress in a Play, for her role alongside James Earl Jones in the revival of You Can't Take It With You.

This month, Ashford is conquering Broadway once again, opposite Matthew Broderick, in the title role of Sylvia, the poodle in A. R. Gurney's play about a Manhattan love triangle (husband, wife and pet), which opens on Broadway on October 27.

On television, Annaleigh Ashford stars as Betty Dimelo in the hit Showtime series, Masters Of Sex, now in its third season. Her film appearances include Sex In the City: The Movie and Rachel Getting Married. On Broadway, Ms. Ashford has starred in Wicked (Glinda), Legally Blonde: The Musical (Margot), Rent (Maureen), and Kinky Boots (Lauren), where she received her first Tony nomination.

In San Francisco's Venetian Room, Ashford will be performing an updated version of her cabaret show Lost In The Stars, and celebrating the release of her debut solo album by the same name. The special added performance by Annaleigh Ashford joins other stellar cabaret artists previously announced for the complete 2015-2016 Bay Area Cabaret series.
