New " Its a wonderful life" Christmas show?
« on: November 01, 2011, 01:03:21 PM »

Is this an entire new show?  I haven't seen this myself and wondered if I had just missed it.

First time I've heard it being performed at SDC. Bedford Falls is 1880? Great Christmas time story, yes, wonderful movie with Jimmy Stewart. SDC play, well, if I squint hard and don't think too much about "Not in Miss Mary's Time" it works. I'll bet it will be a good show, too!

Let's just hope it's good...I saw an "It's a wonderful life" show in Kirksville MO that was excellent, then saw another company put it on in STL MO and it was terrible.  Is this replacing the dickens christmas carol?  They did such a good job on the dickens show, I hope this one is just as good.

The website certainly doesn't sound like they're getting rid of the Dickens show.  It says start a tradition with your family with this show in it's 9th season.  Maybe they'll do another show in the Riverfront Playhouse.

According to the times, "It's a wonderful life" doesn't start until 2012.  The times say both shows....Christmas Carol and It's a wonderful life will play in 2012.

I like the idea of both shows.  Dicken's is fantastic, and It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas Movie.
