This Wonderful Life

San Jose Repertory Theatre

November 24-December 23, 2007

Avg. Event Rating (4.5 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Superbly adapted from the most irresistible and entertaining “what if” story of all time. The award-winning playwright Steve Murray has created a visually stunning stage adaptation of the perennially popular holiday film, It’s A Wonderful Life that is sure to capture your heart and captivate your spirit. This one-man tour de force delivers a witty and moving story brimming with nostalgia and imagination. Seamlessly and with a breakneck pace we reconnect with 35 characters including Clarence, the eager angel in waiting who saves George Bailey from himself; the evil and miserly Mr. Potter; devoted Mary, and the adorable ZuZu with petals in her pocket. While doing so, we’re reminded of the power of perspective, friendship and family … the perfect holiday gifts.

    The technical theatre alone in this show is well worth the hour and 20 minute performance. Having never seen the mocie, I'm sure I missed some, but still was able to follow along and enjoy it. There's really not a bad seat in the house, and the sound design and lighting design along with the set and prop design deserve special kudos. There was a warm smile on my face throughout the show. A wonderful version of a movie I certainly will catch this season. Collapse
