“`Over the course of his career, Sir Paul McCartney has written films, poetry collections, children’s books, and over one hundred hit singles. The composer is now working on an adaptation of Frank Capra’s classic It’s A Wonderful Life. Paul was four when the film debuted in 1946.

“`The stage production is set to debut in late 2020, according to producer Bill Kenwright, whose previous credits include the touring version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Lee Hall, who wrote the recent Elton John biopic  Rocketman, is penning the script and collaborating with Sir Paul on the lyrics.

“`Starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, It’s A Wonderful Life struggled at the box office upon its release. However, this went on to become a beloved Christmas staple, and has been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the hundred best Hollywood films ever made.

“`Sir Paul’s music has frequently been used on stage, notably in Cirque Du Soleil’s ambitious Beatles show, Love. He previously wrote a cinematic musical,  Give My Regards to Broad Street, which was savaged by critics upon its release in 1984.

“`Let us hope that McCartney’s Silly Love Songs will compliment this timeless holiday story.

Until next time>                               “never forget”
