A Wonderful Life (musical)
A Wonderful Life is a musical with a book and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and music by Joe Raposo.
Based on the classic Frank Capra film starring James Stewart, the story closely follows the original plot, set in 1945, telling the story of a suicidal man whose guardian angel reveals to him how different the world and everyone whose life he has touched would be had he never been born. The film was, in turn, based on a 1938 short story by Philip Van Doren Stern called "The Greatest Gift".
