Based on Frank Capra’s beloved and timeless movie It’s a Wonderful Life, this joyful musical adaptation written by the prize-winning team of Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof) and Joe Raposo (Sesame Street, The Great Muppet Caper) closely follows the original story of George Bailey and his wonderful life in Bedford Falls, New York. Despairing over a serious setback to his family-owned savings and loan company, George contemplates committing suicide in order to cash in on his life insurance. But before he makes his leap into eternity, George’s guardian angel Clarence, who has yet to earn his wings, intervenes and reveals how different the world and everyone in George’s life would be had he never been born. Through a series of “flashbacks,” George eventually comes to realize that his life truly was worth living and that everything he has is everything a man could want. Filled with memorable songs and Norman Rockwell moments that evoke the nostalgia of small-town life in 1940s America, this production is sure to warm your heart and make this holiday season especially bright.
