Angel is a Broadway musical that opened at the Minskoff Theatre in New York on May 4 1978. It was based on Ketti Frings’ theatrical adaptation of the best-selling Thomas Wolfe novel Look Homeward Angel. The play (with the same title as the novel) was a 1958 Pulitzer Prize winner. The musical featured songs with lyrics by Peter Udell and music by Gary Geld – the same team who created the musicals Shenandoah and Purlie. Frings and Udell collaborated on the book.
