Synopsis
Winner of 6 Tony’s including Best Musical. Only our own Los Angeles could inspire this season opener. Tough guys and shady dames populate this musical Noir flash back to hot-jive/cool jazz, post-war LA. From the pen of award-winning writer Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H) comes the story of a clever novelist who finds he’s no match for Hollywood as he struggles to turn his hard-boiled detective novel into a movie. His Technicolor adventures, and those of his black-and-white P. I. hero, Stone, unfold to the harmonies of the fabulous 40’s. Full of sassy dialog and terrific music, if you ever miss cutting a rug to Tommy Dorsey, or if you just love LA; this show is a MUST SEE!
