Description of City of Angels (1990 Original Broadway Cast):
Cy Coleman and David Zippel's City of Angels is a seductive depiction of 1940s Los Angeles, capturing swinging jazz, torchy ballads, witty lyrics, and even a Manhattan Transfer-like Greek chorus (arranged by ManTran guru Yaron Gershovsky). James Naughton and Gregg Edelman star as Stone and Stine, respectively a tough Raymond Chandleresque PI and the writer who dreams up his adventures. Randy Graff plays Stone's long-suffering secretary and Dee Hoty the requisite femme fatale. Loads of atmosphere and tasty songs such as "What You Don't Know About Women," "With Every Breath I Take," "You're Nothing Without Me," and "You Can Always Count on Me" make City of Angels a modern classic. It won 1990 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Leading Actor (Naughton), Featured Actress (Graff), Best Book (Larry Gelbart), and Best Original Score. --David Horiuchi
City of Angels (1990 Original Broadway Cast) Reviews:
Best Birthday Present EVER 
2009-12-09 - I saw this on Broadway for my 16th birthday and it remains to this day my absolute favorite show of all time. The soundtrack is a huge part of it because of the perfectly written lyrics and the jazzy/classy compositions. Since 1990, I am sure I've listened to this CD well over 300 times. Now, I aim to sing one of the songs as I attempt some long-overdue singing instruction. It's just the best way to blow off steam or to sing and dance to when no one is watching. Fun. Fun. Fun.
City of Angels Broadway cast CD
2009-11-05 - I enjoyed getting and listening to this CD. I adored the Bway show and thanks to Amazon.com, I now have a lasting memory to keep enjoying. Thank You! Yetta Tropp
Fun Show, Average Score 
2007-02-21 - Fun show, ingenuos concept, so-so score, with one exception. The ballad With Every Breath I Take is brilliant. One of Coleman's best pieces.
Cleverness personified
2006-10-16 - A duet between an author and the character he created, each claiming "you're nothing without me," is just one example of how sharp, witty and clever show is, with an unusual score, jazzy and bluesy and very 1940s, and some of the best lyrics I know.
Fantastic Jazz Musical That's FUN!!!
2006-04-14 - City of Angels is an incredibly fun, classy, and jazzy musical that delivers. Stellar vocal performances are provided by the entire cast, particularly the female end. The fact that Randy Graff was the only female from this cast nominated at the Tony Awards that year floors me. Kay McClelland and Rachel York deserved nods for their powerful solos, With Every Breath I Take and Lost Found, alone. These two songs are also the type of sultry, jazz solos that one would expect in the 40's, which is why the show works. The music is completely period with when the show takes place, and that's why I love it. The best tracks are:
3) What You Don't Know About Women
6) With Every Breath I Take (destined to be a classic)
9) Lost and Found (wonderful solo)
10) All You Have To Do Is Wait (FUN! FUN! FUN SONG!!! Hilarious as well)
11) You're Nothing Without Me
13) You Can Always Count On Me (Randy Graff's Tony!)
