A new musical adaptation by Peter Jorgensen
Based on the screenplay by Frank Capra
Arrangements & orchestrations by Nico Rhodes
With songs by the Gershwins, Kurt Weill, and more…
“Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings.”
Clarence, the Angel (Greg Armstrong Morris), who has been struggling for over 200 years to get his wings, is given the task of saving George Bailey (Nick Fontaine), a small town owner of the Bailey Building and Loan who, on Christmas Eve, is considering throwing away his life.
Featuring classic musical standards like Nice Work if You Can Get It, Rhapsody in Blue, One Life to Live, and Lost in the Stars, as well as traditional holiday carols, this Wonderful Life reminds us, through story and song, just how wonderfullife really is – and that, as Clarence tells George, “No man is a failure who has friends.”
This wonderful story is now a wonderful live musical for the whole family to enjoy!
