by Dan Marois - Jul 29, 2026
It is hard to believe that City of Angels debuted nearly four decades ago. Born out of the late-1980s resurgence of film noir send-ups, the show demands rapid-fire lyrical precision and a swinging jazz score that balances tough-edged detective lore with a biting satire of early Hollywood. With music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by David Zippel, and a razor-sharp book by Larry Gelbart (creator of TV’s MASH*), it remains a formidable piece of musical theater.
