Heaven Can Wait

Attic Playhouse
410 Sheridan Road Highland Park

A "spirited," timeless classic set in the 1940's. Not only is Joe Pendleton's soul accidentally plucked from his body and sent to heaven sixty years too early, but the angelic messengers are too late to restore him. Solution: take up residence in Jonathan Farnsworth's body, a rich business tycoon who is about to be murdered by his wife and her lover. With the help of Mr. Jordan - the head messenger, Joe tries to train for the championship boxing career he began in his former body, while undoing Farnsworth's wrong-doings before Mrs. Farnsworth can murder him…again. (The basis for the Oscar-winning movies – "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" and "Heaven Can Wait")
