Part Two of pictures I took of my City of Angels (1989) script book!

Some lovely pictures from the original opening of the musical!

[Image ID: Ten separate pictures of various scenes from the musical City of Angels, all in black and white. The first image is of James Naughton as Stone entering his office. The second is of Randy Graff as Oolie at her desk answering the phone. The third is Dee Hoty as Alaura Kingsley bidding Stone and Oolie good day. The fourth is of Stone and Alaura in Stone's office, Alaura seated smoking a cigarette with Stone behind her, standing, with the quote "STONE: ... and only the floor kept her legs from going on forever." beneath the picture. The fifth is of Gregg Edelman as Stine answering the phone at his desk. The sixth is of Herschel Sparber as Big Six (misspelled as "Bix Six" under the picture) standing on the knocked-down door of Stone's apartment, Raymond Xifo as Sonny standing eye-to-chest with Stone, and James Naughton as Stone holding a pot with a cigarette in his mouth looking bewildered. The seventh picture is of Scott Waara as Jimmy Powers standing under a sign that reads "HOUR OF POWERS" in the center of the Angel City 4, Gary Kahn, Jackie Presti, Amy Jane London, and Peter Davis with all five with their hands in the air at the end of "Ya Gotta Look Out for Yourself". The eighth is a still of Kay McClelland as Gabby and Randy Graff as Oolie during "What You Don't Know About Women".
