"Angels takes wing with heavenly tunes." (Atlanta Journal and Constitution) A critically ill young woman is visited by an angel in the middle of the night, but her father thinks the visitor is a homeless woman who's gotten into their apartment. The angel must find a way to make the father believe before she can make the daughter well. With the song "If This Is Life, Make Me a Lion," the angel explains how she came to be a force in the universe. When the choir sings "The Song of Solomon" the young woman remembers the beauty of being in love. When the young woman dies, the angel encourages the father to have just one iota of faith, "A Little Mustard Seed." And when the daughter comes back to life and is miraculously healed, the theatre is filled with the powerful "Life Replaces Death and the Soul Will Shout." Early in the first act, the father is baffled by his daughter talking to "invisible people," and the angel explains to the audience: "He can't see you because he doesn't know he's in a play...just like most of you. You don't know you're in a play either. It doesn't matter. It's a metaphor anyway." Single set. Piano/vocal score available.
