Take your seat in the live studio audience of a 1940s radio broadcast, high above New York City at Christmastime, where a company of actors has gathered to perform one of the most beloved holiday stories ever told.

Starring Andrew Rannells, Megan Hilty, Tituss Burgess, Harry Hamlin, and Lisa Rinna, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY tells the timeless story of George Bailey, a man who has spent his life putting the needs of others before his own. When a crisis forces him to look back on the life he’s lived, he discovers just how much one person can mean to the people around him.

Adapted for the stage with the warmth of a bygone era by Joe Landry and directed by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks, this joyful production brings the town of Bedford Falls to life, with the actors playing dozens of characters, a foley artist creating sound effects live onstage, and, of course, some carols along the way. It’s the holiday classic you know by heart, on Broadway for the first time ever.
