American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) has announced that Tony Award winner and A.C.T. favorite Judy Kaye (Mamma Mia!, Ragtime, Phantom of the Opera) will be taking on the iconic role of Anna Madrigal in the world premiere production of Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City.

Based on Armistead Maupin’s popular series of newspaper columns and novels, Tales of the City was adapted into an award-winning television production on PBS, but this will be the first time it has been put onstage. The already-extended world premiere production has been extended an additional week through July 10.

Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City plays May 18-July 10, 2011, at the American Conservatory Theater (415 Geary Street, San Francisco). Tickets are available by calling the A.C.T. Box Office at 415-749-2228 or at act-sf.org.
