Praise for It’s a Wonderful Life

“Audiences are going to be enormously entertained by this enjoyable show. It’s a crowd pleaser you don’t want to miss!”

Ruby Nancy, Quad-City Times (Indiana)

“The score, by Keith Ferguson and Bruce Greer, is slick and often memorable. The musical numbers and Mr. Greer’s lush orchestrations are consistently impressive.”

Tom Sime, The Dallas Morning News

“…the children in the audience appeared to watch with rapt attention. We all did . . . the challenge of breathing new life into a story that most of us probably know far too well; familiarity with Frank Capra’s movie may bring audiences to the theatre, but good luck getting us to stop thinking of the movie during its performance. Based on the enthusiastic — and more than deserved — standing ovation that greeted [the] curtain call, however, I doubt that any of us still had Capra on the brain. The crowd may have attended the show already loving It’s a Wonderful Life, but quickly enough, it was clear that what we were loving was this particular It’s a Wonderful Life.“
