City of Angels has a sensational jazz score by Cy Coleman, lyrics from
David Zippel and book by acclaimed comic screenwriter Larry Gelbart
(MASH, Tootsie).The musical comedy is set in Hollywood in the 1940s with two plots: a Hollywood comedy and a detective drama involving the world of a writer trying to turn his book into a screenplay and the world of the fictional film. It is a homage to the film noir genre of motion pictures in the 1940s.
