Based on the beloved 1946 film, this musical follows George Bailey’s life from his childhood dreams to his midlife disappointments and beyond, as we all take a journey to discover whether his life has mattered at all. Cinematically scored and theatrically staged, this adaptation breathes musical life into a familiar story, while retaining the warmth, humor, and pathos of the original. It’s a new holiday classic for devotees and newcomers alike. Book and Lyrics by Keith Ferguson, music by Bruce Greer.
