City of Angels
A Jazzy Hollywood Musical
Goodspeed Opera House
Sep. 23, 2011 - Nov. 27, 2011
Swinging, sexy , smart, and funny! An ingenious spoof of 1940s Hollywood and whodunit films with side-by-side stories about the "real" world of a detective fiction writer and the "reel" world of his fictional gumshoe hero. One balances romance and rewrites while the other slinks through a film noir netherworld of thugs and femmes fatales. Winner of tons of Tony Awards, it's a witty detective thriller with a jazzy score that really kills.
Recommended for ages 12+
