City of Angels West End tickets, cast and first look at the new revival

City of Angels is returning to London’s West End – here’s all you need to know.

Josie Rourke’s production returns to the West End at the Garrick Theatre after running at the Donmar Warehouse in 2014.

City of Angels – music by Coleman, lyrics by David Zippel and a book by Larry Gelbart – interweaves two plots, one following the writing of a screenplay in the legendary Hollywood of the 40s; the other, the enactment of that screenplay.

The musical begins previews from March 6, 2020 and is currently booking through to September 5 2020.
