City of Angels

Sep 23 – Nov 27, 2011 / The Goodspeed - 6 Main Street, East Haddam, CT 06423 view map

A Jazzy Hollywood Musical

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 a detective fiction writer and the "reel" world of his fictional gumshoe hero. One blances 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.
