THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, SOMETHING WONDERFUL

IS COMING TO BROADWAY

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.

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.
