Donmar Warehouse Production of City of Angels Eyes West End Run

All we have to do is wait! Preliminary discussions are in place to bring the Donmar Warehouse production of City of Angels to the West End, The Daily Mail has reported. The production, helmed by Donmar Artistic Director Josie Rourke, stars Tam Mutu (who will make his Broadway debut this spring in Doctor Zhivago), Les Miserables of stage and screen’s Samantha Barks and West End fave Hadley Fraser. No dates, venue or cast for a West End bow have been set.

Featuring music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by David Zippel and a book by Larry Gelbart, City of Angels alternates between the story of a mystery writer who hopes to break into the movies and the suave 1940s detective he created. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1989, winning six Tony Awards including Best Musical. The tuner then made its West End debut in 1993.

In addition to Mutu, Barks and Fraser, the Donmar Warehouse cast includes Katherine Kelly, Rosalie Craig, Rebecca Trehearn and Peter Polycarpou. The production began performances on December 5 and run through February 7, 2015.
