city-of-angelsLondon is the epicenter of the theater world and the Donmar Warehouse is probably the most consistent and important theater of the West End.  Now City of Angels is dazzling critics and theater goers alike. So much fun and worth the trip to London.

Two decades after its London premier, Donmar artistic director Josie Rourke revives one of the acknowledged greats of twentieth century musical theatre.
