City of Angels

When New York novelist Stine is lured to Hollywood to adapt his detective stories for the silver screen, he trades the gritty East Coast for a land of perennial sunshine and palm trees. But the real drama happens off-page. The Tony Award-winning City of Angels seamlessly weaves between two worlds: the vivid Technicolor reality of 1940s Hollywood and the gritty, black-and-white film noir of Stine’s imagination. As his fictional detective navigates a world of shadows, Stine faces his own dangerous temptations—sultry distractions, the hollow promise of fame, and the relentless pressure to compromise his art. Witty, glamorous, and atmospheric, this production features a sensational jazz score including “You Can Always Count on Me” and “I’m Nothing Without You.”

The production will star Ben Jacoby as Stine and Tony Award nominee Tony Yazbeck as Stone, with Stephen DeRosa as Buddy Fiddler/Irwin S. Irving, Omar Lopez-Cepero as Muńoz/Pancho Vargas, Lili Thomas as Carla Haywood/Alaura Kingsley, Bella Serrano as Mallory Kingsley/Avril Raines, Alysha Umphress as Gabby/Bobbi, and Danielle Wade as Donna/Oolie.
