THE STORY:
No, it's not the movie! It is the far superior Tony Award-winning Broadway musical that consists of the interweaving of two plots, one dealing with the writing of a screenplay in the glamorous, seductive Hollywood of the 1940s; the other, the enactment of that screenplay.
"City of Angels" is the rarest of musical comedies; one that overflows with sidesplitting comedy, but is also loaded with a mix of outstanding music, with some written in the contemporary jazz idiom, and some written to emulate pure movie soundtrack music of the 40s.
The show chronicles the misadventures of Stine, a young novelist who writes suspenseful detective novels featuring his main character, a gumshoe named Stone. In this story, we see Stine attempting a screenplay for the stereotypical movie producer-director, Buddy Fidler. What happens when the main character of a story confronts the story's author? You'll find out, in a big way!
Winner of 6 Tony awards and the New York Drama Critics Circle award for best musical!
