City of Angels at Buck Creek

INDIANAPOLIS — The Buck Creek Players will continue their 2012-2013 season “In the Spotlight” with the Tony Award wining musical, City of Angels, a deliciously funny spoof of 1940s film noir and hard-boiled detective fiction.  The wickedly witty musical — written by Larry Gelbart, creator of TV’s M*A*S*H — opened on Broadway in 1989. With four-part harmonies by Cy Coleman (Sweet Charity, Barnum, The Will Rogers Follies) and lyrics by David Zippel (The Goodbye Girl, Disney’s Hercules, Disney’s Mulan), City of Angels went on to win numerous honors in 1990, including the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and The New York Drama Critics Circle awards for best musical.  Opening Friday, June 7th, and running for three weekends through Sunday, June 23rd, curtain times will be at 8:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with 2:30 p.m. matinees offered on Sundays. All performances will be held at the Buck Creek Playhouse on the southeast-side of Indianapolis at 11150 Southeastern Ave. Tickets are $17 for adults and $15 for students (through college), and senior citizens (ages 62 and older). Reservations are recommended and may be reserved online at www.buckcreekplayers.com, or by calling (317) 862-2270. Group discounts are also available for parties of ten or more when purchased online.
