TALES OF THE CITY to Premiere at American Conservatory Theatre, 5/17-7/19 2011

The musical adaptation of Armistead Maupin's 'Tales of the City' will premiere as part of the 2010-2011 season at The American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. 'Tales' is slated to run from May 17 to July 19, 2011. Jason Moore will direct, with a libretto by Jeff Whitty and music and lyrics by Jake Shears and John Garden.

'Tales' is based on Armistead Maupin's novels 'Tales of the City' and 'More Tales of the City'. 

Amid the fog-drenched glow of disco lights, bathhouses, and the bustling soul of 1970s San Francisco, a wide-eyed Midwestern girl finds a new home-and a new kind of family-with the characters at 28 Barbary Lane. Three decades after Armistead Maupin mesmerized millions with his weekly column in the City's newspapers, detailing the lives and (multiple) loves of Mary Ann, Mouse, Mona, Brian, and the beloved but mysterious landlady Mrs. Madrigal, his iconic San Francisco saga comes home as a momentous new musical from the Tony Award-winning creators of Avenue Q and the musical minds behind the glam-rock phenomenon Scissor Sisters.
