ABOUT IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE

The beloved holiday film comes to life as an ambitious “audio-cinematic experience” in the world premiere of a daring new adaptation by David Ossman.

“Rendering a motion picture on stage requires leaps of the imagination. Films are composed of many individual scenes and shots. Films generally move rapidly from place to place. Films are peopled by many actors playing many small, but vital parts, including silent passers-by. One useful solution has been to re-fashion the drama into a musical, where big song-and-dance numbers frame the dramatic action… We think the original movie script is just fine, heartwarming, romantic, funny and, best of all, the story sits perched on the Bridge between Heaven and Earth, fantasy and reality, life and death. So, no songs…” more
