City of Angels is a dazzling and unconventional musical weaving a clever, jazz-infused homage to Hollywood’s golden age with a sharp-witted exploration of art, ambition, and the blurred line between reality and fiction. This production balances wit, melody, and satire with remarkable precision — a stylish love letter to film noir and the messy business of storytelling.
