kind of face a man could hang a dream on, a body that made Venus De Milo look
all thumbs, and only the floor kept her legs from going on forever.” With these
words the fictional detective Stone sets the mood for the evening to come
after. This show is <i>City of Angels</i>, which will be presented by the
Hudson Players as the finale to their 65<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Season. The
jazzy, award winning musical comedy will open with a red carpet premier on
April 30<sup>th</sup> (complete with some great surprises and reception with
the cast afterwards) and will continue through May 22. Audience members are
encouraged (but not required) to dress up for opening night. Tickets are on

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“This is a
great musical with a good story and music that the audience will love,” said
Mark Judy, current Hudson Players President. “With the high number of awards it
won during its original run and the fun presented by its unique format, we
really saw <i>City of Angels</i> as a show that our patrons and members would
love. When we then add in the hard work of our terrific cast and crew, we
see it as a fantastic capper to our 65<sup>th</sup> anniversary season.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the rarest of musical comedies; one that is not only loaded with music and written
in the contemporary jazz idiom, but also filled with sidesplitting comedy. Set
in the glamorous, seductive Hollywood of the 40's, the world of film studios
and flimsy negligees, the show chronicles the misadventures of Stine, a young
novelist, attempting a screenplay for movie producer/director, Buddy Fidler and
his alter ego and book detective character of Stone, prone to decadence and
homicide with a liberal sprinkling of femmes fatale. The musical weaves
together the two plots into one, while showcasing two distinct musical scores. </span><span
