Even before its opening, demand for tickets has been so great that the show’s run has already been extended, and a special evening performance added for Pride Sunday, June 26. Three decades after Armistead Maupin mesmerized millions with his daily column in the City’s newspapers, detailing the lives and multiple loves of Mary Ann, Mouse, Mona, Brian, and their beloved but mysterious landlady, Mrs. Madrigal, the writer’s iconic San Francisco saga comes home as a world premiere musical. The highly-anticipated production is a collaborative effort between the Tony Award- winning creators of Avenue Q (librettist Jeff Whitty and director Jason Moore) and the musical minds behind the glam-rock phenomenon Scissor Sisters (composers Jake Shears and John Garden). Tony Award-winner Judy Kaye, Betsy Wolfe, Mary Birdsong and Wesley Taylor have been cast as the eclectic denizens of 28 Barbary Lane, with Kaye nabbing the plum role of the pot-smoking landlady, Anna Madrigal. The capstone of American Conservatory Theater’s 2010-2011 season, the musical adaptation of Tales of the City promises to capture the irrepressible spirit that made Maupin’s beloved books the ultimate literary celebration of the City by the Bay. Tales of the City plays at A.C.T. through July 10. For more information, visit www.act-sf.org.

Joe Pisapia, who plays numerous instruments and serves as the band’s musical director, contributed the title track (not my favorite song on the record) and co-wrote five songs with lang. The best tracks are lang’s hypnotic cover of Talking Heads’ “Heaven,” the terrific first single, “I Confess,” and a lovely lyric entitled “The Water’s Edge.”
Strevie Nicks In Your Dreams, Reprise Records Fleetwood Mac front-woman, Stevie Nicks, returns with her first CD of new material since the release of the Grammy-nominated Trouble in Shangri-La ten years ago. The singer’s throaty wail is still mostly intact, but her songwriting has always been hit and miss, and In Your Dreams is no exception. The fist single, “Secret Love,” won’t make anybody forget “Stank Back” or “Edge of Seventeen,” but the CD’s title track is fast and fun, and Nicks rocks out nicely on “Ghosts Are Gone.” “Everybody Loves You” is an effective commentary on the price of fame, and the CD ends on a high note with “Cheaper Than Free” featuring Dave Stewart, who co-produced the disc and co-wrote seven of the album’s thirteen songs with Nicks.
