Photo Flash: First Look at NextStop's CITY OF ANGELS

May. 14, 2016  

City of Angels, with book by Larry Gelbart, music by Cy Coleman, and lyrics by David Zippel, plays through June 5, 2016 at NextStop Theatre Company, in Herndon, Virginia. Check out photos from the production below!

There are two shows in one in this racy and stylish musical throwback to the golden age of Hollywood. Just try not to be swayed by 1940s film noir vixens, the entrancing musical score, or the allure of the life of a private eye hero. Come see how we present the movie-within-the-musical in black and white, live on stage!

City of Angels won six Tony Awards in 1990, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score, and has never been produced by a professional company in the DC region.

The cast includes Bobby Libby, Ryan Burke, Katie Keyser, Katie McManus, Teresa Danskey, John Loughney, Mark Hidalgo, Scott Harrison, Mackenzie Newbury, Grant Saunders, Zac Brightbill, Carolyn Burke, Ward Ferguson, Shaina L. Murphy. The City of Angels band is led by Elisa Rosman on piano and features Glenn Scimonelli, Randy Dahlberg, Mitch Bassman, Dana Gardner, Paul Weiss, and Bill Wright. Alex Aucoin, Gwyn Jones, and Scott Fridy will play certain performances.

The production team features Director: Evan Hoffmann; Music Director: Elisa Rosman; Choreographer: Alisa Claire; Co-Scenic Designers: Evan Hoffmann and Jack Golden; Costume Designer: Kristina Martin; Lighting Designer: AnnMarie Castrigno; Sound Designer: Nicholas Upchurch; Properties Designer: Amanda Srok; Hair & Makeup Designer: Molly Hicks Larson; Costume Design Assistant: Maria Bissex; Production Stage Manager: Laura Moody; Scenic Charge: Amy Kellett; Master Electrician: Brian Stefaniak; Assistant Stage Manager/Wardrobe: Karla Gil; Deck Crew: Max Frost; and Photography by Traci J.

Review: BALLET FLAMENCO SARA BARAS: ALMA at Kennedy Center
The art of Flamenco dance has been around since the 15th century. This passionate dance form, when performed properly, can keep an audience entranced from the first note of a flamenco guitar to the last fiery stomp from the dancer.

Review: RISING at Kennedy Center
Acclaimed Tenor Lawrence Brownlee treated his audience, at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater, with an afternoon of engaging, sensitive vocal interpretations of some of the world’s most talented African American composers.  This invigorating program, entitled Rising, increased in vocal nuance, and beautifully intonated clarity as it ran the gamut of spiritual, romantic, jazzy, contemplative, and socially conscious original compositions by this illustrious and very talented roster of creative composers.
