<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Colaborate-Regular">City of Angels</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Colaborate-Regular"> features music by
<b>Cy Coleman</b>, lyrics by <b>David Zippel</b>, and book by <b>Larry Gelbart</b>. With two plots running simultaneously, this ingenious musical skillfully weaves the real world and the “reel” world into one unforgettable adventure. When Stine embarks to faithfully
adapt his novel into a screenplay, he discovers the difficulty of maintaining his artistic integrity against Hollywood movie moguls. As the line separating fantasy from reality is blurred, Stine must find a way to produce a happy ending!
<i>Variety</i> raves “a spoof with a serious side…looks like a dream and plays like a hoot, letting a knockout cast loose on knockabout comedy.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Colaborate-Regular">Beck Center’s Artistic Director
<b>Scott Spence </b>returns to direct an exceptionally talented cast of 32 actors.
<b>Jamie Koeth</b> stars as Stine, a novelist turned screenwriter. He is joined by
<b>Rob Albrecht </b>as Stone, the private detective in Stine’s novel. <i>“City of Angel</i>s was among my first Broadway experiences, and it set the bar high! There is something for everyone…jazz, vocalese, classic film, mystery, and even screwball comedy,”
remarked Spence. “I am excited for audiences to experience this musical, which does not come around enough.” Koeth and Sonia Perez appear courtesy of the Actors’ Equity Association (AEA). This production is musically directed by
<b>Larry Goodpaster</b> and choreographed by <b>Martín Céspedes</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
