Though it is inconsistent in
performance quality, the Beck production of “City of Angels,” gives theater
buffs an opportunity to see this seldom-done musical with a fine display of
technical effects.
Mark Horning
This is a show that tries too hard to do too much in
too long of a time. A judicial use of editing of scenes and songs as well as
the elimination of the overbearing incidental music during times of dialog
would go a long way in improving the effort. Not a bad show per say but one in
need of improvement.

Hats off to Beck and Spence for taking on this challenge, and to the performers who damn near make it all work.

The Beck Center’s ambitious summer musical, City of Angels, wins a few, loses a few. Directed by Scott Spence, this clever and comic Tony Award-winning musical (1990) celebrates, literally, two story lines at a time and, much of the time, this works.
