City of Angels-
Set in the 1940s, City of Angels is a detective story that presents its own writer, Stine, who is having trouble transposing his book onto the big screen. In parallel, one follows the protagonist of the film, Detective Stone, on his adventures… as Stine writes. Many of the characters have a counterparts in the other world; these parts may be double-casted. It is usually staged with the “real-life” scenes in “color” and the movie scenes in “black and white”. </p>

And the songs? Well, the fact that they include, “You’re the Cream in My Coffee”, “The Varsity Drag”, “Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries”, “Button Up Your Overcoat” and “Keep Your Sunny Side Up” should give you an inkling of just how much there is in this gem of a show.</p>
