City Of Angels, November 15 – December 2, 2000, Theatre Sheridan

Theatre Sheridan Productions

City of Angels is a rare musical comedy that is loaded with contemporary jazz music and side-splitting comedy! Set in the glamourous Hollywood film studios of the 1940's, and reminiscent of Bogart at his best, the show chronicles the misadventures of Stine, a young novelist, attempting to write a screenplay for an egotistical movie producer/director.

Book by Larry Gelbart. Music by Cy Coleman. Lyrics by David Zippel. Vocal arrangements …
