"This shining, shimmering A.C.T. musical delivers on every front."CBS San Francisco

"A home-turf hit . . . playful yet heartfelt"Variety

"It's as if you had been to a happening party and met lots of fabulous people" The New York Times

On the bustling streets of 1970s San Francisco, neon lights pierce through the fog-drenched skies, disco music explodes from crowded nightclubs, and a wide-eyed Midwestern girl finds a new home—and creates a new kind of family—with the characters at 28 Barbary Lane.
Three decades after Armistead Maupin mesmerized millions with his daily column in the city's newspapers, his iconic San Francisco saga comes home as a momentous new musical. Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City unleashes an exuberant celebration of the irrepressible spirit that continues to define our City by the Bay.

Please be advised: This production contains brief nudity, drug use, adult situations, and disco lights. Parental guidance is suggested.
