City of Angels

“One of my favorite musicals of the 1980s...for its sexy David Zippel and Cy Coleman score of siren-fueled ballads...[and] the plethora of droll lines in its potboiler of a book.” – Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune

“One of the wittiest books ever written... [and] an effervescent score by Cy Coleman.” – Michael Billington, The Guardian

“Has the epitome of an old-school book by Larry Gelbart and lines that don't go for easy laughs but more the slow burn of actual comedic sophistication.” – Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune

“Energetic songs, beautiful design, and clever storytelling... one of the rare shows that entertains fans of both traditional musicals and more abstract dramas, a perfect combination for the commercial theatre.” – Tom Williams, Chicago Critic

“One would have to travel back to the 1960's – to Bye Bye Birdie, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Little Me – to find a musical as flat-out funny as City of Angels.” – Frank Rich, The New York Times

“A snappy, stylish film noir musical...a swan song to film noir and its backstage action, a gem of a show.” – Jill Kyle-Keith, DC Theatre Scene
