STAGE TUBE: Goodspeed's CITY OF ANGELS Commercial!

Goodspeed Musicals delves into the sultry and shadowy world of 1940s film noir with their production of City of Angels. Promising lots of laughs and plenty of jazzy tunes, this witty musical comedy will run from September 23 - November 27 at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Conn. City of Angels will be sponsored by Liberty Bank and Connecticut Light & Power.

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.

City of Angels features Music by Cy Coleman, Lyrics by David Zippel, and Book by Larry Gelbart.
The killer cast will be led by D.B. Bonds who will play Stine. Bonds appeared in Broadway's The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables. Stone will be played by Burke Moses of Broadway's The Frogs; Kiss Me, Kate; Beauty and the Beast and Guys and Dolls and Goodspeed's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The roles of Bobbi and Gabby will be played by Laurie Wells who appeared in Broadway's Mamma Mia! and Goodspeed's 42nd Street. Liz Pearce will play Alaura Kingsley and Carla Haywood.
