City Club, The

Synopsis:
the City Club is a twisting noir morality tale of intrigue, murder, corruption and sex supported by one of the most seductive blues and jazz scores written for the stage in decades. It is the story of CHaRLeS CHaZ DaVeNPORT, a young privileged scion of a spectacularly corrupt family whose vice grip on their city is as tight as it is inescapable. the sins of the father have visited unimaginable wealth on the son. Obsessed with music and the people who write it, play it, sing it and worship it; Chaz has opened the City Club, a Mecca of pure and unbridled musical genius, opportunity and escape. the clubs instant success attracts his fathers enemies who bring with them extremely creative and very effective revenge tactics. the universe inside the club spirals as low as city outside. absinthe becomes the drink of choice, heroine the desired high and women the most valuable form of currency. What we have here is the forces of good and evil battling it out to a great score.
