Why Watch City of Angels

The Donmar Warehouse’s Olivier Award-winning production of City of Angels hits the West End!

Josie Rourke’s “ingenious, stupendous revival” (The Telegraph) premiered in 2014, when it was hailed as “a blissful evening” (The Stage) that’s “smart, seductive and very funny” (Evening Standard). City of Angels is a musical love letter to the glam and the fame of old Hollywood and film noir. The West End production will star Hadley Fraser, Rosalie Craig, Rebecca Trehearn and, making her West End debut, Vanessa Williams.

The Story

The classic play about Tinseltown and the dangers that lie waiting around every corner, City of Angels follows the parallel stories of a screenwriter with a movie to finish, and a private eye with a case to crack. But, as it is with such things, nothing’s black and white when a dame is involved. Does anyone stick to the script in this city? What is reel and what is real? Watch the play and find out!
