. . "City of Angels is a musical comedy with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by David Zippel, and book by Larry Gelbart. The musical weaves together two plots, the \"real\" world of a writer trying to turn his book into a screenplay, and the \"reel\" world of the fictional film. The musical is an homage to the film noir genre of motion pictures that rose to prominence in the 1940s."@en . . . . . . "City of Angels"@en .
