Producers are aiming for a late 2020 launch of the show.
It's a Wonderful Lifeplaywright Lee Hall, who also wrote the screenplay for McCartney said he'd never considered writing a musical, but after meeting Kenwright and Hall three years ago, "found myself thinking this could be interesting and fun."
Hall said McCartney's "wit, emotional honesty and melodic brilliance brings a whole new depth and breadth to the classic tale." Frank Capra's 1946 film tells the story of George Bailey, a small-town banker wracked with regret who is shown the value of his life by a guardian angel. Producers said Thursday they are aiming for a late 2020 launch for the show. Its dates and venue have not been released.
