City of Angels has opened at the Donmar - check out Johan Persson's production pics!
Two decades after its London premiere, Donmar artistic director Josie Rourke revives one of the acknowledged greats of twentieth century musical theatre.
Hollywood comes calling for a New York novelist. The offer is too good to refuse: adapt the private detective protagonist of his books into a big-screen hero. The siren song of Los Angeles is a dangerous temptation and while his movie plays out in black and white, his new life is all-too colourful.With a sensational jazz score by Cy Coleman, sizzling lyrics from David Zippel and book by acclaimed comic screenwriter Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H, Tootsie), CITY OF ANGELS, is a witty and glorious celebration of film noir.Videos
