Step into a 1940s radio studio this holiday season with It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, making its Broadway premiere under the direction of four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks.Adapted by Joe Landry from Philip Van Doren Stern’s story The Greatest Gift, the production transports you high above New York City at Christmastime, where celebrated actors bring Frank Capra’s timeless classic to life as a live radio broadcast.
Take your seat in the studio audience and follow the story of George Bailey, a man who has always put others first. When a crisis forces him to look back on his life, he begins to discover just how much one person can mean to the people around him.
Andrew Rannells stars as George Bailey, alongside Megan Hilty as Mary Bailey, Tituss Burgess as Clarence and other characters, Harry Hamlin as Mr Potter and others, and Lisa Rinna as Violet and others. With dozens of characters brought to life on stage, live sound effects created by a foley artist and holiday carols throughout the performance, this Broadway production offers a theatrical take on a festive classic.
