Goodspeed Musicals Adds A WONDERFUL LIFE to 2015 Mainstage Season, 9/18

MARCH 10, 2015: A new title has been added to Goodspeed Musicals' 2015 main stage season. A Wonderful Life, adapted from the beloved Frank Capra film "It's A Wonderful Life," will begin this fall. Featuring book and lyrics by Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize winner Sheldon Harnick and music by Grammy and Emmy Award winner Joe Raposo, this musical is sure to captivate theater-goers. A Wonderful Life will replace the previously announced production of The Honeymooners. This past November, Goodspeed presented a workshop of the show in New York where the authors and creative team were able to work on and see the show fully staged for the first time. Since then, Goodspeed has been told that the show is ready for Broadway.

The three-show Goodspeed Opera House season will now commence with the classic American musical Guys and Dolls which will run from April 10 - June 20; followed by the heartwarming and outrageously funny La Cage aux Folles which will run from June 26 - September 6; and wrap up with the charming A Wonderful Life, which will run from September 18 - November 29, 2015.

ABOUT A WONDERFUL LIFE:

Bedford Falls comes alive as never before with the Goodspeed premiere of the magical tale of finding hope in your own hometown. In a tuneful re-imagining of the classic film "It's a Wonderful Life," a would-be angel swoops to the rescue of desperate banker George Bailey on Christmas Eve. From the Tony-winning co-creator of Fiddler on the Roof, it's a heartwarming family musical that celebrates the power of love and the goodness in all of us. Remember: "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings!"
