Paying glorious homage to film and neo-noir with echoes of Sin City and Casablanca, Gunmetal Blues is a hard-boiled detective yarn disguised as a lounge act... or maybe it's the other way around... The show comes live from the Red Eye Lounge, where piano Player Buddy Toupee leads us on a voyage of murder, mystery and music. In a world of smoke and mirrors, shadows and shattered dreams, Sam Galahad is on a desperate search for a missing blonde as he struggles to solve who killed the corrupt city tycoon Adrian Wasp. Was it Carol Indigo, the party girl with the big secret? Or Laura Vesper, the woman with a past? Perhaps it was the enigmatic bag lady called the Princess? Will Sam break the case before the crooked cops and the bad guys break him? Will he find the love he thought he'd lost?T1529526805Company Cut to the Chase. Director Bob Carlton. Design Norman Coates.
