City of Angels

Summary :

When Hollywood offers the New York novelist Stine the possibility of adapting his books to a film for the cinema, he settles in Los Angeles. The story oscillates between the magnificent technicolor world of Hollywood and the glamorous film noir that Stine writes, inspired by his entourage. As Stine's film is played in black and white, he discovers the dangerous temptations of the Los Angeles world - the distraction of women, the allure of celebrity and the artistic compromises that are made to the right and left to please and make money.
The musical is full of wit and humor and mixes jazz music, barber shop quartet, film music.
