New York — Sometimes the show doesn’t go on-even with good reviews.
“City of Angels,” which opened Monday, canceled today’s matinee and evening performances because one of its stars, Gregg Edelman, has laryngitis. He is expected back Thursday, spokesman Bill Evans said.
The musical, a parody of 1940’s Hollywood detective movies, opened to mostly favoritie reviews and took in more thatn $324,000 Tuesday, the day the notices appeared, Evans said.
The $4.1-million musical, written by Cy Coleman, Larry Gelbart and David Zippel, stars Edelman as a frustrated screenwriter and James Naughton as the movie detective he creates.
