When entering the Three Clubs it feels like going into a time warp: squeezing by to find a spot, the laughter and chattering of strangers, and the booze was flowing (though this show is a #SeeItLA, you can make it a #DrinkDuringItLA, if you desire). "Angel’s Flight" then begins with a cartoon-esque introduction, like the opening credits of a classic film, and you know to buckle up for a fun time.
This is a well-researched homage to noir that was written not to be serious, but had an ensemble of actors that seriously embodied the classic style. The respect for the genre heightened the humor without making it feel gimmicky, such as: referencing people overdosing on reefer (marijuana), a somewhat David Lynch fish scene, and questioning the b...

Angel’s Flight is an over-the-top, quick-witted, laugh-out-loud play that captures the essence of old Hollywood. ‘Rodger Rabbit’ meets ‘Reefer Madness’… and casually throw a little ‘The Maltese Falcon’ in the mix and you’ve got an extremely clever satire, Angel’s Flight.

Delightfully funny (and punny) self-aware take on noir with sexy dames, slinky chanteuses, a tough PI, crooked cops, a car chase, and the horrors of that demon drug - REEFER! Strong performances throughout (especially the always excellent Alli Miller), and lots of laughs - an excellent way to spend an hour, ...

Angel's Flight is quick witted, funny, entertaining show. It is Noir at the Bar to a T. I was cracking up most of the show, this production really makes the most of the noir genre in a way that is fresh, funny, and over the top in the best way possible. The music and jazz dancing added a great flair!...
